Wound therapy for chronic leg wounds
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to clean and treat chronic leg wounds using a special wound therapy and gentle suction. It may help wounds that have not healed for a long time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a wound on your lower leg or foot.
- The wound has been there for more than 30 days.
- You do not have an active infection in the wound.
- You have not had a skin graft or tissue transplant on the wound.

This trial tests a simple, unpowered negative pressure device for treating wounds that are less than 2 cm deep and smaller than 10 by 20 cm. It may be an option if your wound is new (less than 4 weeks) or has been present for longer (4 weeks or more) and your doctor agrees it's safe.
This trial tests if a special wound vacuum (negative pressure therapy) applied after surgery can lower the risk of infections and other complications in people with severe leg fractures. If you have a high-risk tibia or ankle fracture, this treatment may help you heal better.
This trial tests whether a low-cost suction dressing helps heal severe open leg fractures better than standard dressings. It could reduce infections and improve recovery.
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.
This trial tests a new skin graft called NeoThelium FT for stage 2 or 3 pressure ulcers on the pelvis or lower leg. It’s for adults whose wounds are not infected and who can use a wound vacuum to help healing.
This study looks at the tissue environment in the legs of patients who need amputation due to non-traumatic causes, like poor blood flow or infection. Understanding the tissue better might help improve healing for future patients.
