Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to sign consent, including permission for digital wound photos
- You must be an adult (18 years or older)
- You must have a chronic, draining ulcer: a venous leg ulcer or a diabetic foot ulcer
- Your ulcer drainage must be moderate to large, and the ulcer size must be within the required range
- For venous leg ulcers, blood flow to the foot must be normal enough (specific test results required) and you must be willing to use compression therapy
- Your ulcer must not be infected, and you must not be allergic to the dressing materials

This study follows how a non-bordered foam dressing helps chronic leg ulcers that leak fluid (exuding). It mainly aims to see how the wound changes over time, and whether the dressing is comfortable and effective along with standard care.
This study is testing a special dressing called Mepilex® Up for people with leg ulcers, foot ulcers, or skin tears. It aims to see how well the dressing works and if it is safe. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a wound of a certain size and drainage level.
This trial tests if a new version of a special dressing (Suprasorb X+PHMB Pro) works better than the current version for treating infected venous leg ulcers. It may help people with mildly to moderately draining wounds that are infected.
This study tests a special amniotic membrane wound dressing compared to a synthetic wound matrix for stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers. It may help if your wound has not been healing well for over a month.
This trial tests a new wound dressing for leg ulcers. It aims to see if the dressing helps manage fluid and heal the ulcer better than standard care. You may be a candidate if you have a leg ulcer that needs compression therapy.
This study tests whether special wound dressings (called CAMPs) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. If you have a hard-to-heal sore on your foot or leg, this trial may be an option.
