This trial tests if a new wound cleaning tool works as well as an existing one for removing dead tissue from wounds. It aims to help wounds heal better.
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
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 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.
This study compares two wound care methods after emergency surgery for a serious skin infection. One method uses a standard wound vacuum, and the other uses a wound vacuum that also irrigates (rinses) the wound to see if it helps with healing.
This study looks at fluid from chronic (non-healing) wounds to understand why they don't heal and how biofilms (bacteria that stick to wounds) affect healing. The goal is to find better ways to treat these wounds.
