Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess and describe the utilization of Mepilex® Border Flex and other foam dressings available in routine clinical practice in the management of patients with chronic wounds, in order to understand the pattern of use and the frequency of dressing changes in wound management. The study will also allow to gain information about the opinion of the HCPs and the patient's experience concerning wound management with foam dressings. This information may help to understand patient's health care optimization in terms of quality and efficiency.
This randomized, double-blind controlled study aims to compare the effect on appearance of post- surgical scars between daily application of siSPARC microneedle patch versus siSPARC + siLR4A microneedle patches. These patches comprising short microneedles embedded with hydrolysed RNA (siRNAs) have been classified by Health Science Authority, Singapore, as cosmetic products.
Pain control is an important part of patients' care after a kidney transplant. Currently patients receive a one off injection of Local Anaesthetic (LA) in the wound at the end of the operation followed by Intravenous morphine through a Patient Controlled Analgesia System (PCAS), a button pressed to provide a calculated dose with lock out times for safety. Through this study the aim to test the efficiency of Continuous Local Anaesthetic Infiltration via Wound Catheter (LAWC) which is a method to deliver Local Anaesthetic over a longer period of time after the operation. LAWC are currently in use in a variety of surgical specialities including Liver surgery. Patients participating in this study will be allocated randomly to one of 2 groups; one will receive LA at the end of the operation as per current practice and one will receive LAWC. It then compare outcomes such as the the dose of morphine required in the PCAS, quality of pain control and improvement in recovery.
This Phase 3 study is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multiple-center, parallel study to evaluate efficacy and safety of ENERGI-F703 GEL compared with vehicle control in subjects with Wagner Grade 1 to Grade 2 diabetic foot ulcers. Baseline target ulcer size (<16 cm2 vs ≥16 cm2 ) will be included as a stratification factor. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive ENERGI-F703 GEL or vehicle control using an interactive web response system for randomization to automatically assign a unique subject randomization number. Total duration of the study will be up to 31 weeks including Screening visit (approximately 2 to 3 weeks), double-blind dosing/observation phase (16 weeks), and a safety follow-up of 12 weeks after the last administration of study treatment.
The aim of this study is to compare cesarean incision outcomes between patients with incision closed with the Dermabond Prineo system compared to standard subcuticular suture.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a chlorhexidine impregnated dressing for peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) to the standard dressing currently used in general medical and surgical inpatient wards. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Study Feasibility - Occurrence of infectious complications related to the PIVC Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either of the below dressings to cover and secure their PIVC: - The standard dressing used at their hospital, or - The intervention dressing which has Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) on it Researchers will compare standard and CHG dressings to see if the presence of CHG improves the occurrence of infectious complications related to the PIVC.
Post market surveillance study to confirm the ongoing safety and performance of Silver I Alginate Non-Woven Dressing (Hydro-Alginate) in chronic and acute wounds.
This research is being done because people with diabetes have reduced healing capacity and prone to develop infections of foot wounds. This can be problematic because wounds that become infected may result in amputation and more severe complications. New evidence suggests that a better understanding of the microbiome of wounds (e.g., bacterial presence) may provide information about wound healing and provide an earlier opportunity to identify an individual who may be prone to develop diabetic foot infection in their wound. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of the microbiome of the diabetic foot ulcer in development of infection and wound healing. Once the role of the microbiome is confirmed, progress towards the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and complications may be possible.
Diabetes mellitus consists of a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that have hyperglycemia in common, resulting from defects in insulin action, insulin secretion, or both. Diabetes mellitus has gained increasing importance and is considered one of the main themes of global health problems due to the damage caused to quality of life, public health and the epidemiological picture presented. Among the complications are diabetic foot ulcers, with higher prevalence in the lower limbs, they are classified as loss of skin continuity, which can reach from the epidermis to deep structures such as muscles, bones and tendons.
Pressure injuries are common in the elderly and patients who reduced physical activities. Its complications significantly impact the health care system and social burden, even causing the death rate to be as high as 68%. This study aims to collect medical data regarding pressure injuries during hospitalization for developing the Pressure Injury Prediction and Education Model using a mobile application system. It can offer a prediction on the risk of pressure injury and be used as a teaching aid for pressure injury care, providing a personalized and evidence-based nursing information platform for patients, caregivers, and health professionals.
