Active clinical trials for "Pressure Ulcer"

his is an open, single-arm, multicentre and interventional investigation to evaluate the debriding effect of ChloraSolv when used on pressure ulcers in need of debridement. Approximately 54 subjects will be enrolled to have 47 evaluable subjects (calculated dropout range 15%). ChloraSolv will be applied 1-2 times per week for 12 weeks or until the wound is deemed clean, whichever occurs first i.e. End of Treatment. A Follow-up visit for wound status evaluation will be performed 6 weeks from End of Treatment. Total time in investigation will be maximum 12+6 weeks. Subjects will attend a baseline visit to assess eligibility and collect demographic and baseline data and initiate treatment. Photographs of the wound pre and post debridement will be taken at baseline, every week during the treatment period, at End of Treatment and at the Follow-up visit. Photographs will be used to calculate (by PictZar digital planimetry system) the area of devitalized tissue in the wound as well as wound size and calculation of volume. Wound depth and undermining will be estimated by the investigator at all investigational visits. A treatment diary will be used in-between the weekly investigational visits to collect any further treatments. The treatment diary will also be filled-in during the follow-up period of 6 weeks.

The purpose of this PMCF study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ChitoCare medical Wound Healing Gel for the healing of chronic wounds. The study will enroll patients with diabetic foot ulcer, venous ulcer or pressure ulcer. Patients will be randomly assigned to an active or control group. The active group will apply the gel to the wound, in addition to the standard of care, while the control group will receive only standard care. The study will last from 3 to 18 months for an individual patient (15-month recruitment period and 3 months of follow-up after the last patient is enrolled) or until event occurrence (complete wound healing/exclusion from the study). The study envisages four visits: Visit 1 - Screening and Inclusion visit, Visit 2 (after 4 weeks), Visit 3 (after 12 weeks) and Visit 4 - End of Study Visit: The final visit will take place when the event occurs (complete healing/exclusion from study). On each visit, the patients will have their wound photographed and assessed after debridement. Adverse events will be followed throughout the whole study.

The present clinical study aims to verify the effectiveness and safety of the blue light photobiomodulation therapy with EmoLED medical device in supporting the reparative process of the area of the second and third stage decubitus lesion, comparing this method with the effectiveness of the therapy commonly used in the clinical field.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system with instillation therapy (NPWTi) on closure of chronic pressure sores. This intervention will be compared to wet-to-dry dressings, which is standard of care. In this post-market, on-label study, we hope to show that the NPWTi system more effectively closes pressure sores following debridement than traditional care.

The purpose of the PULSE study are the followingL A.To perform post market clinical follow up (PMCF) on safety and efficacy: Safety: To confirm transient short-terms side effects and verify long-term/outstanding risks. Efficacy: To confirm the performance of PLASOMA, i.e. the beneficial effect on bacterial load. B. Determine the effect of PLASOMA on wound surface area. A secondary purpose is to examine the beneficial effects of PLASOMA on wound healing and to perform a health technology assessment (HTA). This clinical study will be an open label two-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT), performed at at least three sites (multi-center) in the Netherlands. The two arms are: Control group: Standard wound care for 12 weeks or until healing, whichever occurs first; Treatment group: Standard wound care + PLASOMA treatment for 12 weeks or until healing, whichever occurs first. The frequency of PLASOMA treatment will be determined by the treating (para)medical professional based on the number of visits they would schedule for the standard wound care at the study site. For all study subjects, the treatment frequency will be at least once per week (in order to have enough treatments for safety evaluation) and should not exceed once per day. Follow up (FU) will be performed at three timepoints for both arms: FU1: 2 weeks after end treatment period FU2: 12 weeks after end treatment period FU3: 12 months after start treatment.

In this trial investigators will explore if a protocolized rotational use of interfaces i.e., masks, during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) compared to standard care is clinically effective and cost-effective in reducing the incidence of pressure sores in patients with hypercapnic acute respiratory failure (AHRF) treated continuously i.e., for more than 24 hours, with NPPV (to avoid intubation, as alternative to invasive ventilation and after early extubation and weaning).

Evaluation of the efficacy (wound epithelialization and time to closure) and tolerance (emergence and nature of adverse event) of the new URGO AWC_008 and URGO AWC_022 dressings in local management of acute and chronic wounds at risk of local infection or with clinical signs of local infection

In this clinical trial, we will assess pressure ulcer healing rates in critically ill patients supplemented with IV Alanyl-Glutamine in comparison with critically ill patients not supplemented with alanyl-glutamine.

This study will evaluate the use of a mattress overlay system to promote the healing of full thickness pressure ulcers. The overlay is placed over the patient's bed making it easier for patients to get in and out of bed. In addition, the overlay has blue tooth capabilities that will allow clinicians to remotely monitor adherence with the device.

Pressure injuries, commonly known as pressure ulcers, affect over 2.5 million people in the United States. Pressure injuries are classified into four escalating stages, from intact skin to full thickness wounds with deep tissue loss and exposed bone. This study will compare current standard of care treatment (as recommended by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel) to treatment with Altrazeal® in patients with stage 2, stage 3 and stage 4 pressure injury wounds. Altrazeal® is a Class 1, 501(k) exempt medical device listed with the FDA as a "dressing, wound, hydrogel" and has an extended wear time of up to 30 days. Subjects can be enrolled in the study either as an outpatient, or while hospitalized. Half of the subjects will be randomized to standard of care treatment, and the other half will be randomized to Altrazeal®. There are a total of up to 12 study visits taking place over 12 weeks.
