Testing a new vacuum dressing for wound healing
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new vacuum dressing (3M V.A.C. Peel and Place) to see how safe and well it works for different types of wounds. The dressing helps wounds heal by gently pulling fluid and dirt out, and this study wants to make sure it works well for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.
- You have a wound that needs treatment with a special vacuum dressing (like a traumatic wound, surgical wound that opened up within 30 days, burn, leg ulcer from vein problems, diabetic foot ulcer, pressure sore, or a closed surgical incision, skin flap, or skin graft).
- You are willing to attend all study visits.
- You are not pregnant or nursing (unless you have had permanent sterilization or are past menopause).
- You are not currently in another clinical research study or have not been in one in the past 30 days.
- You do not have an allergy to the dressing materials (acrylic or silicone adhesives, or polyurethane).

This trial tests a special dressing called Miro3D, used with or without a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device, to help heal tough wounds that haven't improved with standard care. It may be an option for people with certain large surgical wounds or chronic pressure sores.
This trial is testing a special dressing (Vliwazell Prowound) for many kinds of wounds, including diabetic ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds that heal slowly. It looks at how well the dressing works for wounds that produce moderate to very heavy fluid. The dressing is meant to help protect the wound and support healing.
This study compares two ways to treat chronic skin wounds that need surgical cleaning. It tests whether a vacuum-sealing drainage (a special sponge that helps heal) is safer and works better than another method, possibly helping your wound heal faster.
This study looks at how a wound dressing or treatment affects healing in surgical cuts that are closed with sutures or similar methods. You may be able to join if you’re having a skin surgery on the neck, trunk, or arms/legs with a long enough wound you can follow up on.
This study tests three experimental bandages to see how well they stick and feel on the back. You may qualify if you have healthy skin and are willing to follow some simple rules about washing and lotions.
This study compares two ways to help dirty or infected wounds heal faster: a suction device (VAC) that pulls the wound closed, versus regular bandage changes. The aim is to see which method leads to quicker healing.
