Active clinical trials for "Leg Ulcer"

To determine the effects of topically applied ViaNOx-H for 8 hours daily for 2 weeks on the reduction of the bio-burden in biofilms on chronic non-healing wounds as recorded by measurements of wound size and wound culture.

Hypertensive leg ulcers are very painful and difficult to treat ulcers. Their treatment is not well established. We want to study the efficacy of PRF applications on the pains related to those ulcers. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an autologous fibrin clot, obtained extemporaneously from patient's blood, without any additive nor complex manipulation. It contains blood platelets and white blood cells, trapped in fibrin during clot formation. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is form immediately after blood punction in a dry tube, that does not contain any anticoagulant. Coagulation naturally occurs within few minutes, and tubes are placed in a centrifuge: red blood cells are separated from the fibrin clot thanks to difference of density, and blood platelets and white blood cells are trapped in the fibrin clot. The fibrin clot is then rapidly applicated on the ulcer surface for four days. Our hypothesis is that platelet growth factors and cytokines, liberated during platelet activation, could help to treat hypertensive leg ulcers, that are caused by a vascular spasm.

To evaluate the effectiveness of PriMatrix, PriMatrix Ag, and Standard of Care in the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLUs).

Silica Gel Fiber is a bioresorbable, inorganic silica gel fibre patch promoting skin tissue growth and enhanced wound healing for all types of chronic wounds. It is applied as patch and will be hold in place by a secondary dressing for maintaining the moist wound environment. The study is aimed to demonstrate superiority over a standard wound treatment for chronic venous leg ulcers. The primary efficacy variable is time to healing.

The purpose of this proposed DoD study is to determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) plus standard wound care is more effective than standard wound care alone in the rate of healing and prevention of major amputation (metatarsal and proximal) in Wagner grade 2 diabetic lower extremity ulcers.

This efficacy study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of aspirin for venous leg ulcer healing. The study also examines whether patients can be recruited to a larger study. Patients with chronic venous leg ulceration presenting and undergoing care in leg ulcer community clinics or hospital out-patient clinics, or registered with a clinic but are receiving care at home will be recruited. All patients will receive standard compression bandaging. Half of the participants will be randomised to receive aspirin, while the other half will receive a placebo.

Calcium alginate dressings with silver have been found to be safe and effective for use for leg ulcers. The primary objective is to compare Restore Calcium Alginate Dressing, Silver to AqualCel Ag Dressing on the following parameters: No further progression toward infection (bioburden), ease of application and removal, and percent progression to closure. The secondary objective is to obtain photographic documentation of the leg ulcers during the course of the study.

This study will investigate the clinical efficacy of micro water jet technology in the debridement and healing of chronic lower extremity ulcers.

This is a prospective, multi-center, open label study evaluating the performance of PICO14 NPWT in the management of chronic open wounds (pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetes related foot ulcers), dehisced surgical wounds and closed surgical incisions. The study comprises the Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) for a new variant of an established product. PICO 14 is based on another dressing called PICO. The primary objective is to evaluate functional performance of PICO 14 through verification of delivery of negative pressure and wound exudate management.

The purpose of this study is to determine if gaseous nitric oxide is effective in the treatement of bacteria in MRSA positive ulcers
