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 study compares two treatments for diabetic foot ulcers (open sores on the feet): pulsed high-intensity laser therapy, which uses light energy to promote healing, and negative pressure therapy, which uses gentle suction to help wounds heal. It aims to find which approach works better for patients with these ulcers.
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 whether a special silver-containing dressing helps heal chronic wounds faster. If you have an infected ulcer that is not healing well, this dressing might help reduce infection and promote healing.
This trial tests whether a new gel called SALVESAN is better than standard treatment for healing diabetic foot wounds. It aims to help adults with diabetes who have wounds that are not healing with usual care.
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.
