Description
David Voegeli and co-authors (2024) ran a randomized trial of a new wound dressing for chronic ulcers. The dressing is a silicone foam shaped by 3DFit technology to fit the wound bed. In an open trial across several centers, 102 patients with leaking, uninfected chronic ulcers were split evenly between the new foam and standard care, a filler plus a cover dressing. The patients had venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, and care ran for four weeks.
Wound shrinkage was similar in both groups, about 54 percent with the new foam and 43 percent with standard care, a gap too small to rule out chance. Total costs, though, were clearly lower with the single foam, about a third less than the two-dressing routine over the four weeks. The authors conclude the foam heals as well as standard care for ulcers up to two centimeters deep while costing less.
