Filter by:This is an open, single-arm, multicentre and interventional investigation to evaluate the debriding effect of ChloraSolv when used on pressure ulcers in need of debridement. Approximately 54 subjects will be enrolled to have 47 evaluable subjects (calculated dropout range 15%). ChloraSolv will be applied 1-2 times per week for 12 weeks or until the wound is deemed clean, whichever occurs first i.e. End of Treatment. A Follow-up visit for wound status evaluation will be performed 6 weeks from End of Treatment. Total time in investigation will be maximum 12+6 weeks. Subjects will attend a baseline visit to assess eligibility and collect demographic and baseline data and initiate treatment. Photographs of the wound pre and post debridement will be taken at baseline, every week during the treatment period, at End of Treatment and at the Follow-up visit. Photographs will be used to calculate (by PictZar digital planimetry system) the area of devitalized tissue in the wound as well as wound size and calculation of volume. Wound depth and undermining will be estimated by the investigator at all investigational visits. A treatment diary will be used in-between the weekly investigational visits to collect any further treatments. The treatment diary will also be filled-in during the follow-up period of 6 weeks.
An open, non-comparative, multicenter investigation to evaluate the safety and performance of Exufiber Ag+, a gelling fiber silver dressing, when used in medium to high exuding chronic wounds
Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fespixon Cream for the Treatment of Pressure Injury in Sacrum and Greater Trochanter Wound
This is a prospective, multi-center, open label study evaluating the performance of PICO14 NPWT in the management of chronic open wounds (pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetes related foot ulcers), dehisced surgical wounds and closed surgical incisions. The study comprises the Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) for a new variant of an established product. PICO 14 is based on another dressing called PICO. The primary objective is to evaluate functional performance of PICO 14 through verification of delivery of negative pressure and wound exudate management.
The primary goal of this study is to explore whether applying the Mepilex foam on the nasal bridge directly between the skin and the N95 mask will prevent nasal bridge pressure injury among nursing staff, secondary to long-term ( >8+ hours) wear time. The secondary goal is to evaluate if using the Mepilex maintains the seal of the mask.
Thirty patients of 18-85 years of age, with 2-30 cm2 pressure ulcers or post-op wounds, will be recruited and treated with either wound dressing containing silver or wound dressings containing copper oxide microparticles. The efficacy of the two types of dressings in reducing the size and improving the condition of the wounds will be compared.
This randomised study will assess whether Parafricta bootees, when used in addition to normal standard care, can reduce the incidence of heel PUs in patients at very high risk of skin breakdown. The participant group will be hospital inpatients at high risk of PUs (Waterlow score of 20 or more) who are bedbound and do not have existing heel PUs. The participants will be randomised to an intervention arm using Parafricta plus standard care, or a control arm of standard care only. The primary outcome is incidence of heel PUs at day 3. Secondary outcomes are incidence of PUs at day 14, length of stay, severity of PUs, patient acceptability of device, cost-effectiveness.
This study seeks to evaluate if a 100% whey protein based diet enhances pressure ulcer healing.
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical study Of PuraPly® AM and standard of care (SOC) compared to SOC alone for the management of Stage II-IV pressure ulcers located in the gluteal, ischial, hip, sacral, coccygeal, and trochanteric, malleolus, or heel area.
Paraplegic patients have defective wound healing for sore below the level of spinal lesion. Defect of vascularization of the healing zone certainly participate to this effect. Therefore, this study want to measure, in a clinical settings, the interface pressure (e.g. the pressure between the patient body and the surface he/she is lying on) to assess the correlation between mechanical stress in term of pressure applied over time and tissue oxygenation which represent micro-vascular function. The aim of this clinical trial is to correlate the variations of pressure intensities and changes in micro-vascularization. The measure are recorded when paraplegic patient came into the hospital for pressure ulcer related surgery. The patient is laying on his/her mattress on top of a flexible pressure mapping device. The micro-vascularization parameters are measured at the area displaying the peak pressure a few minutes after the beginning of the pressure interface recording and one hour later at the same area. The data generated during this monocentric study will help to achieve a better understanding of the relation between pressure and micro-vascularization. In the mid term, it will provide a better and more patient adapted pressure ulcer prevention.
