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 a special wound dressing made from a placental tissue (called PpLHACM) plus standard care, compared to standard care alone, to help heal diabetic foot ulcers that have not healed with usual treatment. It is for people with diabetes who have a moderate-sized foot ulcer without infection or exposed bone.
This trial tests a new antibacterial wound dressing to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers safely. It may be an option if your ulcer has been there for over 4 weeks and is not severely infected.
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 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 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.
