Effectiveness Study of Santyl Ointment to Treat Pressure Ulcers
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pressure Ulcer, Soft Tissue Necrosis Lower Limb
In brief
Researchers at LSUHSC-S hope to learn the effects of the combination of a medication and a device which by themselves are effective for the treatment of wounds. You are being asked to take part in this study because you have a wound on your body which has not responded to standard treatments. The researchers will be studying whether the combination of two treatments will make wounds heal faster. For those in study, the investigators will treat them with a vacuum device on their wound. Also, some of the people in the study will receive a special ointment and researchers will use special tests to determine if the two treatments together are working better than just one treatment alone.
