Single-layer amniotic membrane (XPURT) plus standard care for chronic pressure ulcers
This project will try adding a single-layer amniotic membrane (XPURT) to standard wound care to see if it helps close nonhealing stage 3–4 pressure ulcers in adults.
-
Cellular, acellular, and matrix wound products plus standard care for nonhealing stage 3–4 pressure ulcers
This study will try several cellular, acellular, and matrix-like wound products with standard care to see if adults with nonhealing stage 3–4 pressure ulcers heal more completely over 20 weeks than with standard care alone.
