Gel to prevent biofilm in pressure ulcers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special gel to stop biofilm (a sticky layer of bacteria) from forming in bedsores. It may help older adults with stage II or III pressure ulcers heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new gel (called BU002) designed to clean and help heal chronic open sores on the legs or feet. The gel may work better than current treatments for wounds that have been open for months and aren't healing on their own.
This study tests a new gel and applicator for chronic wounds that are hard to heal, like bed sores, diabetic foot ulcers, and leg ulcers. The goal is to see if the gel helps wounds heal safely.
This trial tests a gel applied on hard-to-heal leg ulcers to see if it can help them heal. It is for people with chronic venous leg ulcers that have not healed for at least 4 weeks but less than 2 years.
This study tests a special gel called PAW-Hydrogel to help heal chronic wounds (wounds that have not closed after 3+ months). The gel may help wounds close faster by supporting the natural healing process.
This study tests Berovenal gel, a special wound dressing, to see if it helps heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers faster than standard care. You may be eligible if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that is not infected and meets specific size and duration criteria.
This trial tests if special wound dressings (called cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products) can help heal severe pressure ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be a good option if you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer on your lower back or tailbone area that's been there for at least a month.
