Active clinical trials for "Degloving Injuries"

Athletes commonly face skin injuries during training and competition, which can negatively impact their performance and physical health. Injuries such as abrasions, cuts, burns, and sunburns can limit muscle contractions and range of motion, cause discomfort, and lead to bacterial infections. In addition, skin damage can lead to long-term skin problems such as skin aging and cancer, affecting athletes' overall health and performance. Protecting the skin is crucial for athletes to maintain optimal performance and physical health. The use of steroids is limited for athletes due to their status as banned substances. Topical steroids may also cause negative side effects, making it necessary to find alternative skin care options for athletes such as tug-of-war athletes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a topical hydrating cream for skin care in this population. The study involved using a moisturizing cream on the more severely affected side of one hand while the other hand acted as a comparative control group. After two weeks, the sides were switched, and the study continued for four weeks in total.

This pilot Phase I/II clinical study will be conducted at up to three clinical sites. This is an open-label, randomized, comparative study with a maximum of fifteen (15) patients, each with skin defects. The patients are intended to undergo sequential surgical procedures involving surgical skin debridement and temporary allogeneic (cadaver skin) grafting at various separate or contiguous wound sites. Patients will be randomized within each wound site to one of two test products: cadaver skin or StrataGraft™ skin tissue.

A prospective randomized within-subject controlled study to compare the clinical performance of conventional autografting with and without the RECELL system on acute non-burn full-thickness skin defects.
