Official title: A Study to Evaluate the HS Specific Wound Dressing HidraWear AX in the Home Setting

The product, HidraWear AX (www.hidrawear.com) is and adhesive free wound dressing system for the every day home care of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a debilitating disease of the skin for which there are limited wound dressing products.

This is a study to assess the use HidraWear Ax vs current product and method of use, and to determine the impact on patients' quality of life.

Read the detailed description

The objective is to evaluate the ease of use of Hidrawear AX compared to the subject's existing product use in 23 subjects with HS (Hidradenitis Suppurativa).

Secondary objectives are to evaluate if Hidrawear AX:

  • Is comfortable
  • Improves quality of life
  • Faster to use than the subject's existing product
  • Reduces dressing related pain
  • Secure dressing retention

This pilot study will evaluate usability - the safety, efficacy and performance of HidraWear AX in the home setting. Quality of life, ease of use and comfort of Hidrawear AX will be assessed.

The clinical effect of the wound pad will not be assessed.

What participants receive

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

  • HidraWear AxDevice

    An adhesive free wound dressing fixation device for people living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), Hidrawear AX, designed to make dressing changes quick and easy for subjects. The unique features of the product completely remove the use of adhesives on the skin.The body conforming garment acts as a second skin and incorporates largely perforated panels over wound affected areas, minimising skin contact and aerating the area. The main function of the perforated is to act as a retaining device for the wound pads. The garment facilitates easy insertion, removal, precise positioning and adjustment of a non- adhesive wound dressing onto the effected wound space. The perforated section of the garment sits on the outer surface of the dressing providing provisional fixation. Next, an outer patch is placed on the outside of the garment on the footprint of the dressing. Through a hook and loop mechanism the dressing is now fully secured in place.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ease of Use Day 21 vs Day 0

    10 point visual analogue scale with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 0. self reported . A score of 0 means the product is very easy to use, and a score of 10 means the product is very difficult to use. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in Quality of Life (QoL) Measured Using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a ten-item questionnaire designed to measure the impact of skin diseases on patients' quality of life, focusing on symptoms, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and treatment. It provides a quick and quantifiable assessment, with scores ranging from 0 (no impact) to 30 (extremely large impact), facilitating the evaluation of disease severity and treatment efficacy. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. Visual Pain Analogue Scale Day 21 vs Day 0

    Patient reported pain, 10 point scale, high score indicates pain. 10 point visual analogue scale with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 0. self reported . A score of 0 means the patient experiences no pain, and a score of 10 means the patient experiences extreme pain. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  3. Time Taken to Dress Wounds

    10 point visual analogue scale with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 0. Self reported . A score of 0 means the product is very quick to use, and a score of 10 means the product is very time consuming to use. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  4. Body Image Visual Analogue Scale

    10 point visual analogue scale with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 0. Self reported . A score of 0 means the patient feels confident about their body image, and a score of 10 means the patient does not feel confident at all about their body image. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  5. Patient Comfort

    10 point visual analogue scale with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 0. Self reported . A score of 0 means the product is very comfortable to use and wear, and a score of 10 means the product is very uncomfortable to use and wear. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  6. Confidence in Dressing Product (Secure Retention, Leak Reduction)

    10 point visual analogue scale with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 0. Self reported . A score of 0 means the patient is confident in the products ability to remain in place and contain exudate, and a score of 10 indicates low confidence in products ability to remain in place or contain exudate. A lower score represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 weeks
