Venous Leg Ulcer
Conditions
Brief summary
The URGO2875 dressing is an innovative antimicrobial dressing made of exclusive technologies of TLC-Ag healing matrix and fibres. The dressing has been developed for the local treatment of chronic (leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers) and acute (burns, traumatic wounds, surgical wounds) moderately to highly exudative wounds at risk or with signs of local infection. The purpose of this non-comparative clinical trial was to evaluate the performance (efficacy and safety) of the URGO2875 dressing, on the healing process of chronic wounds presenting a high-risk of infection.
Detailed description
The URGO2875 dressing is indicated for the local treatment of chronic (leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers) and acute (burns, traumatic wounds, surgical wounds) moderately to highly exudative wounds at risk or with signs of local infection.
