Clinical Study to Compare 3 Multi-Layered Foam Dressings for the Management of Chronic Wounds

The study will be conducted in an outpatient setting of an academic clinical center over a total period of four weeks (28 days, ‐1/+2). The aim of this RCT is to evaluate and compare three different foam dressings in the local management of chronic wounds (i.e. venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs)) in an outpatient setting. A bordered, five‐layer, flexible foam dressing with soft silicone adhesive technology will be evaluated versus a hydropolymer, adhesive foam island dressing and a multi‐layered, hydrocellular foam dressing with silicone adhesive, within three focus areas; efficacy and safety of the dressings, participant‐centric outcomes and health economic evaluation. Note: The terms used within the body of this report and results, in both the Primary and Secondary Outcomes, are defined as follows: Period 1: Weeks 1 and 2 of study follow‐up visits. Period 2: Weeks 3 and 4 of study follow‐up visits. Week 1: Designates data captured only on visit days 7 and 21. Week 2: Designates data captured only on visit days 14 and 28. During Week 1: Designates data captured on visit days 3, 7, 17 and 21. During Week 2: Designates data captured on visit days 10, 14, 24 and 28. Day 3 of Week 1 from tables: inclusive of data captured on Visit Days 3 and 17. Day 3 of Week 2 from tables: inclusive of data captured on Visit Days 10 and 24. Day 7 of Week 1 from tables: inclusive of data captured on Visit Days 7 and 21. Day 7 of Week 2 from tables: inclusive of data captured on Visit Days 14 and 28.
