Mepilex Up dressing for leg and foot ulcers and skin tears
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new foam dressing called Mepilex Up for wounds on the legs, feet, and skin tears. The dressing is designed to manage fluid and help the wound heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
This study tests if a special wound dressing (collagen matrix with antimicrobial) plus standard care helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than standard care alone. It's for people with diabetes who have a foot sore that hasn't healed for at least 4 weeks.
This study tests whether special wound dressings (called CAMPs) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. If you have a hard-to-heal sore on your foot or leg, this trial may be an option.
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.
This study looks at a specific wound dressing in people with a non-infected diabetic foot ulcer that has nerve pain (neuropathic), poor blood flow (ischemic), or both. It may help you heal the ulcer and improve how the wound looks and progresses.
This trial tests if a placental membrane product, when added to standard wound care, helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster than standard care alone.
