Gel vs. seaweed dressing for long-lasting leg wounds
This study tests a new gel (ADM hydrogel) against a standard seaweed-based dressing (alginate) to see which helps heal long-lasting leg wounds better. You may join if your wound has been present for at least 3 weeks and is a certain size.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your wound must have been there for at least 3 weeks.
- The wound should be on your lower leg and be between 4 and 20 cm² (about the size of a small palm) and less than 1 cm deep.
- You should not have any visible bone in the wound.
- You must not be taking certain medications like steroids or immune-suppressing drugs.
- If you are pregnant, you cannot take part.
- You cannot be in another drug study at the same time.

This trial tests whether a special amniotic tissue product can help close chronic wounds that haven't healed in 4 weeks. It is for people with wounds caused by diabetes, poor circulation, pressure, burns, injury, or surgery.
This study tests a special gel called PAW-Hydrogel to help heal chronic wounds (wounds that have not closed after 3+ months). The gel may help wounds close faster by supporting the natural healing process.
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
This trial tests if a new gel called SALACIA helps heal diabetic foot wounds that haven't improved with standard treatment. It's for adults with diabetes who have a wound that is at least 5mm wide and has been present for 3 weeks or more.
This trial tests a new 'living' dressing made from plant cells that might help deep skin wounds heal faster and better. It could be an option if you have a relatively large, clean wound that needs new skin growth.
This trial tests a gel applied on hard-to-heal leg ulcers to see if it can help them heal. It is for people with chronic venous leg ulcers that have not healed for at least 4 weeks but less than 2 years.
