About this study

Official title: Phase IV Study of Antibacterial Effect on Silver Dressing of NPWT

The purpose of this study is to test therapeutic benefits of silver dressing compared with non-silver dressing in NPWT(Negative pressure wound therapy). Silver dressing may antibacterial effect on infected diabetes mellitus foot.

Read the detailed description

Investigator will recruit sixty patients. Participant will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One is using silver dressing group in NPWT, another is using non-silver dressing group in NPWT. Participant will visit in screening day, NPWT apply day and F/u day for 4 months. Investigators will conduct to check the wound base, Lab, wound culture.

What is being measured

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

  1. Days to patient discharge

    -Examine the days from applied medical device to discharge.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Days to infection clearance in wound culture results

    • Compare screening culture test with every visit culture test
    • Examine days to infection clearance(point to show bacteria minus level in culture test)

    Measured: 4 months (at least once a week for 4 weeks / After dischage, every participant visit day(for 3 months))

  2. Complete infection clear rate in wound culture results

    • Compare screening culture test with every visit culture test
    • Examine total complete infection clear rate in each groups. (point to show bacteria minus level in culture test)

    Measured: up to 4 months

  3. Days to complete wound closure

    -Examine days from applied medical device to wound closure day

    Measured: 4 months (at least once a week for 4 weeks / After dischage, every participant visit day(for 3 months))

  4. Wound closure rate

    • Examine total wound closure rate in each groups.
    • Wound closure: definition: skin graft, epithelized skin or simple suture et. al.

    Measured: up to 4 months

  5. Elevation of wound evaluations grade

    • Examine the rate of wound size, wound depth (4 category),granulation tissue grade (5 step),Infection symptom(4 grade)
    • Present wound size, infection grade, depth category, granulation tissue grade at every patient visit and examine elevation of wound evaluations compared with baseline.

    Measured: 4 months (at least once a week for 4 weeks / After dischage, every participant visit day(for 3 months))

  6. Days of NPWT application period

    -Examine the period of NPWT application

    Measured: up to 8 weeks

  7. Number of surgical debridement after NPWT

    -Examine the number of debridement during applied NPWT

    Measured: up to 8 weeks

  8. Lab - deviation of level

    • Compared baseline lab level
    • Examine related infection sign level (white blood cell,monocytes,C-reactive protein)
    • Finding adverse deviation level through the lab level

    Measured: up to 4 months

  9. Rate of adverse event

    -Examine adverse event every visit

    Measured: up to 4 months (if adverse event appeared, Investigator follow until the disappearance of the symptom
