Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The wound shift after application of Suprasorb® A + Ag is used as parameter for performance assessment. For an objective assessment of the wound shift, reduction of fibrin slough is technically measured by evaluation of the photographic wound documentation with the Wound Healing Analysing Tool (W.H.A.T.). The wound is assessed before the first time of application and after 4 weeks of treatment with Suprasorb® A + Ag. Success of treatment is defined as a reduction of fibrin slough of at least 50% after 4 weeks, measured by W.H.A.T. Additionally the wound shift is clinically assessed by the investigator at the same time schedule. | — |
