Trial summary

The aim of the investigation is to evaluate the function of two new device parts to be used in a NPWT system; an on-top suction device intended to transport exudate from the wound and a silicon cover film intended to fixate the wound filler and seal tight to the skin in order to keep a moist environment.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open, Non-controlled Proof-of-concept Investigation to Evaluate the Function of a New Silicon Cover Film and an On-top Suction Device to be Used in a NPWT System in the Treatment of Acute and Chronic Wounds

The aim of the investigation is to evaluate the function of two new device parts to be used in a NPWT system; an on-top suction device intended to transport exudate from the wound and a silicon cover film intended to fixate the wound filler and seal tight to the skin in order to keep a moist environment.

Being tested
External Suction Interface and a Silicon Film

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • External Suction Interface and a Silicon FilmDevice

    Evaluate the function of a new silicon cover film and an on-top suction device to be used in a NPWT system in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the transport of exudate from the wound bed to canister and thus distribute negative pressure in the wound site

    Measured: 144 - 288 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To investigate the practical properties and management of the device, to evaluate the ease of use for the subject and the care giver and to assess any undesirable effects with the suction part

    Measured: 144-288 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing External Suction Interface and a Silicon Film in people with Acute and Chronic Wounds, run by Molnlycke Health Care AB at 3 sites in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the transport of exudate from the wound bed to canister and thus distribute negative pressure in the wound site (time frame: 144 - 288 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jul 2011.
