SALACIA: SALvesAn vs Conventional Management of dIAbetic Foot Wounds

Sponsor: NHS Lanarkshire

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus has led to increasing numbers of chronic non-healing foot ulcers (wounds). Electrolysed water is a novel antiseptic which reduces bacterial load and appears to encourage wound healing. The investigators propose to compare electrolysed water against conventional management.

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrolysed water

Electrolysed water is a novel antiseptic produced by passing an electric current through a mixture of tap water and salt. Microbiocidal activity is due to the presence of hypochlorous acid at neutral Ph. Irrigation of chronic wounds reduces bacterial load and appears to encourage wound healing. We propose to compare electrolysed water against conventional management.

DEVICE

Conventional irrigant

The irrigant (Prontosan™) that is currently 'in-use' in the conventional management of diabetic foot wounds
