Filter by:The study will evaluate the efficacy of SynPath™, a synthetic dermal matrix, in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in subjects with diabetes mellitus versus Standard of Care treatment. Half the subjects with be treated using SynPath™ while the other half will receive Standard of Care treatment
Evaluation of wound bed surface area containing clean, healthy viable tissue in full-thickness wounds.
Since antiquity, honey has been recognized for its healing properties. Literature about the use of medicinal honey for wound care dates back centuries with recent data suggesting its use in patients suffering from burns or pressure ulcers. Research has shown Manuka honey (Leptospermum scoparium) to have significant immune benefits and the ability to influence all phases of wound healing: inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. In addition, numerous clinical studies have identified positive benefits for wound healing. However, there is a lack of prospective, randomized controlled data on the use of honey as a medicinal agent in local wound care and scar healing. In order to better understand Manuka Honey's ability to aid in healing, the investigators are conducting a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study of patients undergoing reconstructive surgery. This project uses split thickness skin graft and free tissue transfer donor sites as standard wound models to compare the effects of Manuka Honey versus standard wound care therapies. Through the use of standard wound model and objective measurement tools, the investigators hope to better elucidate any benefits of this novel wound care 'technology.'
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a very rare disease, with a severe impact on the life of the patient and the caregiver. Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) comprises a group of genetically determined skin fragility disorders characterized by blistering of the skin and mucosae following mild mechanical trauma. There is no specific proven treatment for any form of EB, and the mainstay of clinical management is based on protection and avoidance of provoking factors. Chronic nonhealing erosions and ulcers have been treated with conventional split-thickness skin grafts. Alternatively some patients may benefit from the use of autologous or allogeneic cultured keratinocyte grafts.
One of the significant complications associated with some patients with diabetes is the inability for wounds to heal regardless of enrolling and participating in a traditional wound healing program. There have been a number of anecdotal evidence presented by patients receiving pulsatile intravenous insulin therapy for other complications with non healing wounds lasting from several months to several years whose wounds healed while receiving therapy. This study was designed to specifically monitor the progress of diabetic patients who have failed traditional wound care therapy and monitor the progress of their wounds while receiving pulsatile intravenous insulin therapy.
This study will compares differences in pain level, narcotic consumption, wound healing, patient satisfaction in patients randomized to the Iceman® cold pack therapy system (djOrtho, Inc) versus those who use ice. This will be assessed postoperatively following the foot and ankle procedures primary first metatarsal osteotomy (PMO) or lateral ankle ligament reconstruction (LAR).
This research is being done to increase knowledge about wound healing and different factors that may affect healing in burn patients.
The hypothesis is that topical opioids will hasten wound healing in humans.
