Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine how well multiple CAMPs (Cellular, Acellular and Matrix-Like Products) and Standard of Care work when compared to Standard of Care alone in achieving complete closure of hard-to-heal diabetic foot and venous leg ulcers.
The study is a multi-center, prospective, clinical trial designed to evaluate the use of InnovaMatrix AC sterilized porcine placental ECM to treat chronic VLUs . The trial will include 30 completed subjects at multiple, experienced clinical centers in the United States.
Multi-center, observational (i.e., non-interventional), open-label, real-world Registry on the Use of Kerecis Devices
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is weak and not able to effectively pump blood to the body. One of the common manifestations of CHF is fluid overload and swelling of the legs. Diuretics or "water pills" are usually the treatment for fluid overload and leg swelling; however, in some patients' diuretics are no longer effective or the effectiveness is limited due to poor kidney function. The presence of chronic swelling of the legs could potentially damage the veins; additionally, it could lead to chronic skin changes in the legs and in the worst cases to a leg ulcer. Compression stockings are used in patients with venous diseases to reduce the swelling of the legs and improve mobility and quality of life. Although, there is a theoretical risk that compression stockings might push the fluid of the legs back to the heart and lungs worsening the CHF. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of knee-high tight socks (tight stockings with strong compression) vs. knee-high soft socks (soft stockings with minimum compression) are effective in preventing swelling and skin changes and safe in patients with CHF. During the first visit (in-person) a routine medical test will be performed including blood tests, review of the medication doses, current weight, an ultrasound images of the veins, (venous reflux ultrasound), questions about health status and a brief physical exam. The participants will be randomly assigned to receive tight compression vs. soft compression socks. Participants will be asked to wear the socks at least 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. There will be a total of 3 virtual visit (by video or telephone); the first one after one week, then after one month and two months. During the virtual visit participants will be asked about symptoms, current medications and doses, and current weight. The participants are expected to return to the clinic after 3 months for a second in-person visit. During this visit the investigators will ask questions about participant's health, they will perform a brief physical exam of their legs, and check participants weight and medicines; also, a venous ultrasound of the legs, questions about health status will be performed. The duration of the study is 3 months.
Collect data on various wound treatments and their related wound healing process, in real life settings. Analyze the safety and efficacy of wound treatments, including: advanced biological/synthetic grafts and standard of wound care treatments.
The fluid handling capacity of superabsorbent dressings varies depending on the design and construction. The use of effective advanced wound dressings is a promising strategy to achieve adequate absorption of wound exudate and malodour promoting wound healing. The aim of the current study is to determine whether there is a difference in the clinical performance of exudate absorption with two commonly used CE-marked superabsorbent dressings when used on VLUs in routine wound care. As primary objective the dressing´s absorption performance and its ability to prevent skin maceration and leakage of the wound dressing will be investigated.
The goal of this open-label, post-market clinical follow-up study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of HealiAid Collagen Wound Dressing in patients classified into different types of wounds: venous ulcers, bedsores, diabetic foot wounds and burn wounds. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The wound healing which was defined as the percentage of area change. 2. The duration of wound healing. 3. The granulation tissue growth of the wound. 4. The wound exudate. 5. Safety Indicators of which incidences after treatment. HealiAid will be applied to eligible subjects who will later be followed up for 12 weeks.
The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and outcome of a nurse-led nutritional intervention for patients with leg ulcers in a outpatient clinics. The intervention consists of a structured dialogue and patient information on key lifestyle behaviours to improve wound healing. Furthermore, the intervention includes protein supplement.
The purpose of this survey is to observe the efficacy and safety of EPIFIX® dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (DHACM) for the treatment of intractable diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers.
This project aims to investigate 'The minimum diagnostic requirements for patients presenting to primary care with suspected venous ulcers.' In order to do this, the investigators intend to run a series of questionnaires with primary care services, vascular science services, and perform some cost effectiveness modelling on running diagnostic services in primary care and in secondary care settings. A one off questionnaire, designed in Qualtrics, will be sent out to primary care practitioners via social media and email contacts. This will be aimed at establishing their current role and any guidelines they follow with regards to the diagnosis and management of venous leg ulcers in primary care, and to determine their opinion of what this patient pathway should involve. A Delphi consensus will be carried out amongst vascular scientists across the UK to determine current and streamline future practice in diagnostics for patients with venous leg ulcers. The consensus will be achieved when there is ≥ 70% agreement. Cost effectiveness modelling will be carried out on two different scenarios of managing this cohort of patients, one in primary care and one in secondary care settings. Descriptive statistics will be performed on the results.
