Diabetic Foot Ulcer Research Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare safety and performance of the study device to the current typical NHS standards of care device. The main outcomes it aims to achieve are:
Complete wound healing at 12 weeks (100% epithelialised)
% Reduction in wound area at 12 weeks
Participants will attend their NHS podiatry clinic appointment as normal and will be assigned either the study device or the current typical NHS standard of care device. Researchers will compare the study device group to the standard group to assess the outcomes mentioned previously.
