Testing a new oxygen treatment for hard-to-heal leg wounds
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new oxygen-based wound treatment is safe and workable for people with lower-leg wounds that are slow to heal. It may help improve healing by changing the wound environment, but it’s mainly focused on feasibility (whether the approach can be used).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lower-leg wound that your clinician says is hard to heal
- Your wound area is larger than the treatment interface area (the study team will measure this)
- You are age 16 or older and can give informed consent
- Your wound does not have exposed bone or exposed tendon
- Your wound is not infected and does not need antibiotics, and it doesn’t need special medicated dressings for heavy contamination
- Your wound can be managed with dressing changes no more than every 2 days, and less than 30% of the wound is covered by slough (dead tissue)

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new device that delivers oxygen to the wound area (topical wound oxygen therapy) to help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by vein disease. It may help people who have not seen enough healing with compression therapy alone.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen at normal pressure can help people with severe, long-lasting lack of blood flow in their legs. It may offer a way to improve oxygen delivery to the leg and possibly avoid amputation.
This study looks at whether using leg compression and a CO2 laser after lower-leg wound surgery helps wounds heal better. You may be a candidate if you have a sizeable lower-leg wound that will be treated with a specific type of surgical healing plan.
This study tests whether giving extra treatments with hyperbaric (pressure) oxygen after a leg amputation can improve healing or recovery. It’s meant for people whose amputation happened due to long-lasting infection or poor blood flow and who can attend follow-up visits.
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
This study looks at fluid from chronic (non-healing) wounds to understand why they don't heal and how biofilms (bacteria that stick to wounds) affect healing. The goal is to find better ways to treat these wounds.
