This trial tests a special air mattress (XTECH®25) to see if it can prevent bedsores (pressure ulcers) in people who are at high risk and spend a lot of time in bed. If you qualify, you would use the mattress at home or in a care facility.
This trial tests a new tissue-engineered skin substitute called NeoThelium FT for treating pressure injuries (bed sores) on the pelvis or lower legs. It may help heal wounds that haven't improved much with standard care.
This trial tests different wound-healing products (called CAMPs) to see if they work better than standard care for hard-to-heal pressure ulcers (bedsores). It might be a good fit if you have a long-lasting stage 3 or 4 bedsore on your trunk that is not infected.
This study tests a special bed positioning technique (lateralization therapy) to see if it lowers pressure on the body and helps prevent bedsores in people on breathing machines. If you are on a ventilator and not yet ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help improve your comfort and skin health.
This trial tests a special air mattress that helps turn patients in bed, which may prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). It looks at how well it works, if it reduces the workload for nurses, and whether it saves money.
