Comparing two compression bandages for leg ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of compression bandages to see if one is as good as the other for treating venous leg ulcers. If you have a leg ulcer that has not healed, this trial may help improve your treatment.

This trial tests a smart compression bandage that uses sensors to help heal venous leg ulcers. It may help people whose ulcers have not healed with standard compression therapy.
This trial tests a new 'smart' bandage that sends information to your care team from your home, compared with a regular bandage and standard follow-up visits. The hope is that this smart bandage can help heal your vein-related leg ulcer faster by catching problems early.
This trial tests a new fish oil-based dressing (OCM™) for venous leg ulcers, which are slow-healing sores on the lower leg caused by poor vein function. The dressing is used along with your usual compression therapy, and the study compares it to compression alone to see if it helps ulcers heal faster.
This study tests a new gel that helps remove dead tissue from venous leg ulcers. Venous leg ulcers are open sores on the leg that happen when veins don't work well. The gel is applied to the ulcer to clean it and help it heal. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a venous leg ulcer that is not too large and has been there for a few weeks.
This study tests a new cleansing solution called VASHE to see if it helps heal leg ulcers that show signs of heavy bacteria, compared to a standard saltwater solution. If you qualify, you'll use the solution along with compression therapy, and it may help reduce infection and improve healing.
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.
