Bioactive Glass Fiber for Venous Leg Ulcers
Part of Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new wound-healing product (a special fiber matrix) for venous leg ulcers—sores on the lower leg caused by poor blood flow in veins. The study compares this product to standard wound care to see if it helps ulcers heal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a venous leg ulcer (confirmed by ultrasound) that has been present for at least 4 weeks but not longer than 18 months
- Your ulcer is between 2–20 cm² in size (roughly the size of a postage stamp to a large coin)
- You have adequate blood flow to your leg (verified by a blood-pressure test on your ankle)
- Your ulcer is not infected and has no dead tissue at the time of enrollment
- You can wear compression bandages or stockings continuously as part of the study
- Your diabetes (if you have it) is reasonably controlled (HbA1c ≤12%), and your kidney function is adequate
