Gel to prevent infection in pressure ulcers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special gel that may stop bacteria from building up in pressure ulcers (bedsores). It might help prevent wounds from getting infected and healing better.

This trial tests whether a special gel helps heal venous leg ulcers faster. It is for people with a diagnosed vein problem and a leg ulcer between 2 and 12 square centimeters that has been present for at least 4 weeks.
This study tests a new gel applied to infected diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if the gel can help the infection and ulcer heal better than standard care.
This study tests a new gel that may help heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein circulation. The gel is applied directly to the wound and aims to trigger natural healing processes in the skin.
This study tests whether a new wound gel helps heal diabetic foot ulcers better than the standard gel. It is for people with mild to moderate foot ulcers who have good blood flow and are not taking certain medications.
