Ultrasonic Enhancement Delivery of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors Nanoparticles for Diabetic Management of the Foot

The enhancement of cGMP levels at the wound site has shown beneficial effects in wound healing. Thus, topical or systemic application of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, for example, sildenafil (Viagra), which is well-known for its use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, enhanced contraction, re-epithelialization, and tensile strength of rat wounds and reduced pressure ulcer size in a few patients. In addition, Nanofibers Specifically designed for topical drug delivery enable the sustained release of therapeutic molecules, such as growth factors. This targeted approach ensures optimal cell-to-cell interactions, proliferation, and vascularization, fostering effective and controlled wound healing. Diabetic foot is Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are the most common complications associated with diabetes mellitus. DFUs are displayed as open sores or wounds on the bottom of the foot as a secondary complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). DFUs are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and can subsequently lead to hospitalization and lower limb amputation if not recognized and treated on time. An immense challenge to conventional treatments is caused by the chronic nature of diabetic foot syndrome, and it has led to the emergence of nanotechnology-based therapeutics.

Healing Electroceutical Dressing for the Recovery of Open Wounds (HERO)

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the wireless electroceutical dressing (WED) called PowerHeal™ Bioelectric Bandage, improves care of infected wounds by clearing the infection and helping the wound heal better. The main hypotheses it aims to answer are: 1. WED promotes wound closure, as determined by wound area measurement 2. WED manages wound infection in civilian and military wounds in Ukraine, as determined by clinical assessment of wound infection by measuring the numbers and types of relevant microbes. Researchers will compare to see if PowerHeal™ Bioelectric Bandage the dressing used in the SOC group Participants will get their dressings changed per the protocol, wound image and swab will be taken.

An Exploratory Research on the Efficacy and Safety of Antibacterial Absorbable Dressing in Chronic Non-healing Wounds

Antimicrobial absorbable wound dressing is a novel polyester-based degradable dressing. Previous preclinical studies have demonstrated promising efficacy, with a 3-week wound area reduction rate of 63.53% in large animal models, outperforming foreign counterparts (49.47%), without significant adverse reactions observed during application. Toxicological risk assessment confirms acceptability, and small animal model studies show no abnormalities in toxicity or sensitization. However, current evidence lacks clinical validation, particularly regarding efficacy and safety in chronic non-healing wounds. This study integrates modern clinical evaluation methods with chronic wound staging theory to systematically investigate the effectiveness and safety of antimicrobial absorbable wound repair materials in treating chronic non-healing wounds. The research aims to identify optimal indications and provide robust evidence for its clinical efficacy and safety.

Prospective Case Registry for Wounds

This is a post-market, observational and non-interventional registry to collect real-world data in diverse clinical settings and wound applications of acellular fish skin graft (FSG). The registry will be multi-center , target a wide patient population and a variety of wounds to document the quality of wound care, patient outcomes, safety and long-term results.
