Filter by:Leg vein circulation problems can damage the skin of the lower legs, especially around the ankles, by making it discolored, hard, itchy, red, and swollen. Ulcers often develop. Inflammation is often present in the damaged skin. This study will test whether using a special low compression, cooling, boot-like gel wrap placed around the damaged skin of the lower legs will improve the skin circulation and prevent leg ulcers. The study hypothesis is: A cryotherapy, low-compression cooling gel wrap (CW) plus usual care (UC) (leg elevation, compression stockings) intervention compared to a low compression non-cryotherapy "sham" wrap (NW) plus UC will reduce tissue blood flow (perfusion units) and decrease the incidence of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) during the 9-month study period in individuals with Stage 4 and 5 venous insufficiency.
The clinical study is designed to assess the effectiveness, safety and non-immunogenicity of fish skin wound dressing extracellular matrix (ECM) in treating chronic wounds. The wound dressing is indicated for the management of difficult to heal and chronic wounds. The matrix is cut to fit the wound and is applied to the wound bed. An absorptive secondary dressing is put on top. Further dressing of the wound depends on the etiology. The indications for use are: - partial and full-thickness wounds - pressure ulcers - venous ulcers - diabetic ulcers - chronic vascular ulcers - tunneled/undermined wounds - trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, and skin tears)
The overall study objective is to use microarray technology to identify and characterize the gene expression of multiple relevant genes in biopsies of non-healing venous ulcers.
Subjects requiring skin grafting due to burns, trauma, or chronic venous ulcers with split thickness donor sites expected to be between 20 and 200 square cm will be consecutively screened for study eligibility. This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial evaluating effect of MIST Therapy on the healing of split thickness skin graft donor sites compared to standard care. Subjects meeting all eligibility criteria and providing appropriate written informed consent will be enrolled for study participation.
This study is for subjects with a venous leg ulcer. The study is being done to determine if NEXAGON plus compression bandaging is more effective that placebo plus compression bandaging.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution and Prontosan® Wound Gel in the treatment of hard-to heal venous leg ulcers compared to control saline irrigation solution and inactive gel by showing a reduction in size over a 12 week period.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution in the treatment of hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers compared to wound irrigation with saline solution Methodology: Randomised, controlled multi-centre, prospective clinical trial Planned number of subjects: 20 patients in experimental group (Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution) 8 patients in control group (wound irrigation with saline) Products under investigation: Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution Study Duration: 3-4 weeks
Compare the efficacy of using an absorbent foam silver dressing (Mepilex Ag) versus the equivalent dressing without silver in subjects suffering from venous leg ulcer or mixed ulcer with an ABPI ≥ 0.8 and with inflammatory signs. Efficacy will be defined as absolute wound size reduction.
This study randomly assigns patients with venous leg ulcers to receive standard therapy (compression) alone or compression plus Dermagraft(R). Dermagraft is a device containing live human fibroblasts grown on an absorbable Vicryl mesh. Patients are seen weekly until they heal or the 16-week treatment period is complete. Follow-up visits are conducted monthly for three months in order to assess patients for longer term safety.
The objective of this study is to examine the durability of previous target wound closures, identify new test article-related adverse events, record new target wound closures, and examine ongoing adverse events not resolved in subjects who participated in HP 802-247-09-015.
