Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of Connettivina Bio, when used in the management of wounds. Moreover, the study will evaluate the correlation of the 'dressing system' (formed by the Connettivina Bio primary dressing plus a secondary one) used in different care settings. The study will include Italian healthcare facilities.
Transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) patient populations commonly have poor healing outcomes and a large number of complications. There has been little study on the benefits of augmenting a TMA with a synthetic graft substitute. The long term goal is to push for an application of synthetic graft substitute to reduce infection rates and aid in the healing process. Augmenting a TMA with a synthetic electrospun fiber matrix will demonstrate utilization of the product and other comparators in generating wound healing and infection rate outcomes including rate of infection, wound dehiscence and total healing response. Electrospun fiber matrices have long been investigated as an innovative construct for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research due to their ability to mimic the structure and scale of native tissue. Clinical studies have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating both chronic and acute wounds. There is strong evidence to support the application of a synthetic electrospun fiber matrix will generate favorable wound healing and reduce infection rates.
The goal of this clinical trial is to follow the progress of wounds in those with venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers while using an absorbent dressing called Mepilex Up. The main objective is to follow the progress of these wounds over time from initial visit to each follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to wear Mepilex Up dressing for up to 6 weeks of treatment or until healed, changed at every one-week interval.
This research is being done to compare two different methods of wound monitoring for chronic wounds: remote wound monitoring using a smartphone app and in-person wound monitoring in a clinic setting. This will be a pilot non-blinded randomized controlled feasibility trial. The investigators will enroll 120 patients with an active diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) who present to the multidisciplinary diabetic foot clinic in Baltimore, Maryland. Patients will be computer randomized 1:1 to receive wound care monitoring using remote DFU monitoring technology or standard in-person monitoring for 12 weeks.
The study will examine the effectiveness of a decellularized dermal matrix (i.e., DermGEN™) in improving wound healing, quality of life and associated costs of treatment of DFUs in First Nations people living in the Northwestern Ontario Communities. First Nations people with active diabetic foot (DFU) ulcer attending a wound care clinic located at the Rainy River district office. An interventional, two-arm, randomized, prospective study of (1) standard of care (control) vs. (2) DermGEN™ - a decellularized dermal matrix (treatment) will be used in the treatment and management of DFU. Patients will be randomized to each arm (n=60 per arm) based on power calculations using data from our Pilot study.
This study is evaluating whether a therapeutic ultrasound device can improve blood flow to the leg with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Comparison the mean healing time of wound after vacuum assisted closure(VAC) versus conventional dressing(CD) in diabetic foot ulcer(DFU) patients. DFUs are chronic wounds in diabetics resulting from ischemia, angiogenesis defects and impaired immunity. Different treatment modalities are available for treating DFUs. Amongst them VAC provides a new paradigm for diabetic wound dressing. Different studies concluded that DFUs treated with VAC are more likely to heal than CD. The average healing time varies greatly among different studies conducted. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the mean healing time of wound after VAC and CD in DFU patients. Based on these results, the method with lesser healing time can be opted for our routine practice guidelines for DFU patient's management protocol.
This study is an open label trial designed to test the effectiveness of the Tennant Biomodulator® PRO electrical stimulation device (Avazzia), which uses BEST™ (Bio-Electric Stimulation Technology), on hospital in-patients to improve perfusion in the treated and contralateral limb.
