Comparative Efficacy of ADM Hydrogel vs. Alginate Dressings in Chronic Trauma Wounds
Sponsor: Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether a wound treatment made from acellular dermal matrix (ADM) gel can help heal chronic traumatic wounds more effectively than standard alginate dressings in adults aged 18 and older with wounds that have lasted more than 3 weeks. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ADM gel reduce the size of chronic wounds more than alginate dressings after 12 weeks? Does ADM gel help wounds heal faster and improve quality of life for patients? Researchers will compare ADM gel to alginate dressings to see if the ADM gel leads to better healing results and fewer complications. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either ADM gel or alginate dressing. Have the treatment applied directly to their cleaned wound. Attend weekly visits for up to 12 weeks for wound checks, measurements, and dressing changes.

Conditions
Interventions
Injectable Acellular dermal matrix hydrogel
An injectable, sterile acellular dermal matrix (ADM) gel derived from processed biological tissue, designed to promote healing in chronic wounds. The gel is injected directly onto the wound bed following standard debridement and serves as a biocompatible scaffold to support granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and wound closure. After application, the wound is covered with a standard secondary dressing. Dressing changes are performed every 2 to 3 days or as clinically indicated.
Alginate dressing
A sterile, absorbent alginate wound dressing composed of natural polysaccharide fibers derived from seaweed. Following standard debridement, the alginate dressing is applied directly to the wound bed to manage exudate and maintain a moist wound environment conducive to healing. The dressing is covered with a secondary dressing and changed according to the manufacturer's instructions and clinical protocol.
