Wound dressing method for severe pressure sores
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies a special negative-pressure wound dressing used during closure surgery for stage 3–4 pressure sores. The goal is to help wounds heal by improving how well the wound is sealed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pressure sores on the tailbone area (sacrum) and/or sitting-bone area (ischial) at stage 3 or stage 4
- Your wound needs to be able to form a good seal with the dressing
- Your pressure sore must be considered a good candidate for surgical closure by the study doctor
- You do not have fecal incontinence (loss of stool control), because it can affect wound area safety
- You are not pregnant, and you must use birth control or avoid pregnancy during the study

This trial tests if special wound dressings (called cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products) can help heal severe pressure ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be a good option if you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer on your lower back or tailbone area that's been there for at least a month.
This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
This study compares two wound care methods after emergency surgery for a serious skin infection. One method uses a standard wound vacuum, and the other uses a wound vacuum that also irrigates (rinses) the wound to see if it helps with healing.
This trial tests a special wound vacuum system with silver to treat chronic leg ulcers that show signs of infection. It aims to see if this dressing helps clean and heal wounds better.
This study tests if a vacuum-like wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps heal diabetic foot ulcers after surgery. It may be a good fit if you have a foot ulcer needing surgery and are able to walk.
