Filter by:This study will determine the effectiveness of CUTIMED® hydrophobic dressings against AQUACEL® silver dressings in bacterial colonization of vascular ulcers.
The study evaluates the effects of early endovenous glue ablation on ulcer healing in patients with chronic venous ulceration. Half the patients are randomized to receive early endovenous ablation (within 2 weeks) and a half to standard care
This is a prospective, single centre, randomised controlled, feasibility study recruiting patients with lower limb venous ulceration and Great Saphenous incompetence. Patients will be randomised to undergo either truncal ablation and compression therapy or truncal ablation, simultaneous iliac interrogation with intravascular ultrasound and stenting of significant (>50%) iliac vein lesions plus compression therapy. The primary endpoints will be ulcer healing and procedural safety. Secondary endpoints include time to healing, quality of life and clinical scores, ulcer recurrence rates and rates of post-thrombotic syndrome. Follow up will be over a five-year period. This feasibility study is designed to include 60 patients. Should it be practicable a total of 594 patients would be required to adequately power the study to definitively address ulcer-healing rates.
The goal of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of Cutimed Sorbact (Study Device) in modifying bacterial load in venous leg ulcers (VLU).
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of KLOX BioPhotonic System (composed of KLOX LumiHeal Gel and KT-L Lamp) on the expression of wound biomarkers in the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLU). Patients will be randomized in three groups, two different dispensing schedules of KLOX BioPhotonic System in addition to Standard of Care (SOC) will be used, and SOC alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of image-guided, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective strategy with which to reduce Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) disease severity and improve quality of life in patients with established disabling iliac-obstructive post thrombotic syndrome (DIO-PTS).
This study will compare the proportion of patients who have wound closure within 12 weeks as well as the time to wound closure in patients receiving Artacent™ versus standard of care for treatment of non-healing lower extremity wounds. The recurrence of healed wounds will be assessed at 6 months via a telephone survey
Lower extremity ulcers pose significant clinical, humanistic and economic burdens on society. Millions of Americans are afflicted with painful, open, draining sores on their lower extremities. These sores are referred to as venous leg ulcerations (VLUs).1-5 Under the best of circumstances these ulcers require weeks or months to heal. Not uncommonly wound care specialists see patients who have suffered for years or faced amputation of the limb as their only option to alleviate the pain. Standard of care will result in healing in 50% of venous leg ulcers in 12 weeks. However, roughly half of patients suffering from venous ulcers will require advanced therapy. Human amniotic membrane replaces the damaged extracellular matrix characteristic of chronic ulcers. In addition, it contains cytokines that may accelerate healing. In clinical practice and recent studies, Dehydrated Human Amniotic Membrane has appeared to be as effective as bioengineered skin products. This RCT is designed to evaluate Amnioband Dehydrated Human Amniotic Membrane in venous leg ulcers.
The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, randomized trial in which venous leg ulcers (VLU)n will be treated using Aurix and compared to patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care (UCC)
To assess the efficacy of the PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix and compare its performance with usual and customary practice for the treatment of chronic non-healing venous leg ulcers (VLU).
