About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Pressure Ulcer focused on measuring foam dressing, MedifoamⓇ, BetafoamⓇ, povidone iodine

Foam Dressing

Foam Dressing with Povidone Iodine

Arm Description

Over the course of 12 weeks, dressing is performed twice weekly, but additional dressing changes are allowed, depending on the condition of the pressure ulcer such as excessive exudates on the ulcer. The frequency of dressing change is limited to once daily.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Patients With Complete Healing of Ulcer Within 12 Weeks
Complete healing is defined as epithelial tissue covering 100% of the ulcer, with intact dermis and epidermis and without abrasion or ulceration.
Time to Complete Healing of Ulcer Within 12 Weeks as Measured by Number of Days From Baseline
Complete healing is defined as epithelial tissue covering 100% of the ulcer, with intact dermis and epidermis and without abrasion or ulceration.
Pressure Ulcer Size Measured Using A Ruler at Week 12
The ulcer area (for ulcers without re-epithelization) is measured at each visit after foam dressing application. A photograph of the ulcer is taken and a using a ruler (MediRuleⓇ) is used to measure its length and width to obtain the area in cm2.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) Score Measured Using PUSH Tool Version 3.0 At Week 12
The PUSH score is measured at alternate visits (2-week intervals) starting from baseline and will be compared against baseline. Minimum score= 0 Maximum score: 17 Higher score: worse outcome
Number of Participants With a Dressing Change Frequency Greater Than Twice Per Week
Number of Patients Achieving Early Study Completion Due to Complete Healing
Complete healing is defined as epithelial tissue covering 100% of the ulcer, with intact dermis and epidermis and without abrasion or ulceration.
Number of Participants With New Infections at the Pressure Ulcer Based on Clinical Signs and Symptoms Checklist (CCSC)
Patients with at least 1 new infection after the foam dressing application at baseline until Visit 14 will be taken into account. Infection is defined as presence of purulent exudates or 2 or more symptoms stated in the CCSC. For patients with existing infection at baseline, infection is defined as the development of an additional symptom or recurrence of the baseline symptom after it was completely healed.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to exploratively assess the efficacy and safety of hydrophilic polyurethane foam dressing (MedifoamⓇ or BetafoamⓇ) in pressure ulcer specifically. The target enrolment is 20 patients, with 10 patients per arm.
Detailed Description
As the primary objective, the percentage of completely healed patients and the time to complete healing will be assessed after applying the study device, MedifoamⓇ or BetafoamⓇ, for 12 weeks to pressure ulcer patients. In addition, the pressure ulcer size reduction rate over 12 weeks will be evaluated. Patients will make once weekly site visits. There are 14 visits in total, including a screening visit 14 days (maximum) before the baseline visit.
