The study is a prospective, clinical trial designed to evaluate the combination of BlastX™ and VAC® in facilitating healing and reduction in bio-burden in pressure ulcers. After consenting, the ulcers of eligible subjects are treated with BlastX. After a 5 minute dwell time the wound VAC® is applied

Diabetic Foot ulcers are a major cause of admission in diabetic patients, and comprise a disproportionately high number of hospital days because of multiple surgical procedures and prolonged length of stay in Hospital. The improvement in diabetes therapy and the reinforcement of guidelines have

Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory form of regulated cell death and is dependent on networks of extracellular fibers (NET,s), on the enzymatic activity of inflammatory proteases that belong to the family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases (caspase), and cytokines. The role of

A prospective, open randomized controlled study in the community setting. Study participants will be selected from chronic wound patients being treated in the community by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust that are not considered to be infected and are not currently being treated with a topical

The pathogenesis of CVLU involves high numbers of activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) that are associated with persistent inflammation in the wound bed. The proposed research is to test the efficacy of an oral, nutrient intervention containing the bioactive components of fish oil

NEED FOR THE STUDY: Coronally advanced flap with Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft (CAF+SCTG) technique has proven to be one of the most successful modalities for root coverage.1 The success of any surgical procedure is dependent on wound healing. Wound healing after surgical procedure is

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a problem that can develop in nearly half of all patients who experience a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs. PTS symptoms include chronic leg pain, swelling, redness, and skin ulcers. PTS lowers patients' quality of life after DVT, specifically with regards

Fibrinolysis is a process to lyse clot formed by thrombin. It starts with activating plasminogen to plasmin by the endogenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA). These activator are found in the endothelium, granulocytes and monocytes. Plasminogen activator

Chronic wounds lead to significant patient morbidity and mortality, and its treatment is associated with a global economic burden of $13-$15 billion annually. In Canada, the average cost of three months of community care for a chronic wound is $ 27,600.00. One of the major complications associated

The objective of this clinical study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the dermaPACE (Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression) Device to sham application, when administered in conjunction with the standard of care, in the treatment of DFUs. Diabetic patients are susceptible to chronic foot
