Antibiotic wound spray for hard-to-heal chronic wounds
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a wound spray containing antibiotics to treat chronic wounds that haven't healed with standard care. It might help if you have a wound on your leg, arm, or trunk that has been present for over 4 weeks and is not getting smaller.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The wound has been present for more than 4 weeks and has been treated at a wound center at least 2 times.
- Your wound has not shrunk by more than half in the last 4 weeks.
- You have adequate blood flow to the wound area, as shown by a test like a toe pressure of 50 or higher.
