Filter by:Chronic wounds are a source of significant morbidity and escalated healthcare costs. The wound care professional has a myriad of modern wound dressings to choose from, each of which has benefits and drawbacks. An understanding of how a given dressing performs in healing a particular wound is crucial in order to determine a clinical mapping of wound dressings to wound types; such a categorization would lead to more efficient clinical decision making and better patient outcomes. This case series will evaluate the ability of a porcine-derived collagen dressing to improve healing of chronic lower-extremity wounds.
Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be provided with fibrillar collagen powder dressing. The powder dressing will be used in accordance with its label. After cleansing the wound by the clinical site staff, the powder is placed directly on the wound, and then the wound will be covered with an appropriate moisture retentive secondary dressing. Patients will visit the clinic twice a week to have the powder re-applied. Wound evaluations will take place once a week at the outpatient clinic, with the intervention lasting up to twelve weeks. Concurrent standard of care, such as compression for venous ulcers, will be provided.
The objective of the study is to analyze the different implications (such as graft loss and conversion of indeterminate depth burns) of biofilm infections in burn patients. Additionally, it also aims at comparing children's resistance to biofilm infection at wound site than adults'. 300 subjects from 3 different age groups will be enrolled in 3 arms.
