Silver spray and wound vacuum for diabetic foot wounds
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a special wound vacuum that adds silver nanoparticle spray to a standard wound vacuum. It's for people with diabetic foot wounds after a procedure to restore blood flow to their leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes and a foot wound that is deep but not infected with pus.
- Your foot wound is rated grade 2 to 4 on the Wagner scale (moderate to severe).
- You have critical limb ischemia (severe blockage in leg arteries) and were at stage 6 on the Rutherford scale or stage 4 on the Fontaine scale.
- You recently had a successful procedure to restore blood flow to your leg, confirmed by imaging and a doctor's exam.
- You are not allergic to silver or any part of the wound vacuum therapy.
- You can commit to follow-up visits.

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 trial tests whether a special silver dressing helps heal infected chronic wounds better than standard care. It may help people with certain types of wound infections that are not too large or severe.
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
This trial tests a new wound covering called NeoThelium FT to help diabetic foot ulcers heal. It is for people whose ulcer has not improved much with standard care and is not infected or too deep.
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 special dressing that releases nitric oxide to help heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot sore that is not too deep or infected.
