Trial summary

This study recruited 10 subject participants to compare the hemostasis gauze made by chitosan with traditional cotton gauze to see which one is better in bleeding time, bleeding volume, wound infection and wound healing speed when it is used in open wound treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Develop the Biologic-fibrotic Dressing on War Open Bleeding Wounds for Hemostasis.

This study recruited 10 subject participants to compare the hemostasis gauze made by chitosan with traditional cotton gauze to see which one is better in bleeding time, bleeding volume, wound infection and wound healing speed when it is used in open wound treatment.

Read the detailed description

open wound bleeding and infection care policy development is focusing on efficiency to strengthen internal bleeding, pain, avoidance of infection and promoting wound healing wound. With the changes in the social environment, people caring for hemostasis and wound healing have become increasingly demanding. Presently, studies generally aim to stop the bleeding using trauma care technology and functional capabilities combined with each other as well as inhibit lower infection and can also help assist healing wounds care strategy for the protection of human lives. Therefore, the goal of the plan is to establish new care strategies on open wounds infection to stop the bleeding and to improve the health and safety of the people. The researchers will choose the general biological hemostatic gauze to conduct clinical trials comparing the clinical hemostasis focusing on bleeding time, wound infection in the wound and the wound bacteria penetrating situations in the hope to build a better strategy in rapid hemostasis and wound infection care strategy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Hemostasis

    How many second it takes to stop bleeding

    Measured: one hour after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Breeding volume

    the weight gain of the gauze from it been administrated on the wound until the hemostasis of the wound.

    Measured: one hour after the surgery

  2. Relative light units difference

    compare the relative light unit(RLU, relative light units, is by detecting the ATP concentration in the samples to determine the relative bacteria number, kikkoman PD-30) difference on the gauze collected at the daily wound care between chitosan gauze and traditional gauze.

    Measured: day0, day7 and day 14.

  3. size of the wound in millimeter

    observe the difference of size between different treatment.

    Measured: day1, day3, day 5, day7 and day14.
