An innovative, highly conformable, mesh-free healing matrix dressing: results of a clinical trial
The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the performance and local tolerance of an innovative mesh-free contact layer (healing matrix) made of lipidocolloid technology (TLC) in the management of various wounds. This dressing is made highly flexible by the absence of textile mesh in its core.
Healthcare practitioners' perspectives on infection management, antimicrobial resistance and stewardship in wound care practice
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat, particularly in wound care, where non-healing wounds often harbour pathogens that complicate healing and reduce treatment efficacy. Despite available guidance, antimicrobial use remains inconsistent and often lacks alignment with antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) principles. This study aimed to assess global practices in, and awareness of, infection prevention, management and AMS in wound care.
Real-world outcomes of a placenta-based tissue product versus standard of care for lower extremity diabetic ulcers: a Medicare cohort study
To review data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) database in order to compare clinical outcomes of patients who were treated with Artacent Wound and Artacent AC (Tides Medical, US), a dual-layer amniotic membrane (DLAM), with patients who received debridement alone.
A comparative analysis of sharp debridement devices for biofilm management in hard-to-heal wounds: a clinical assessment
Hard-to-heal wound biofilms are increasingly recognised as a major barrier to healing, contributing to persistent inflammation, delayed re-epithelialisation, and reduced responsiveness to standard therapies. While traditional sharp debridement (TSD) is a standard treatment, its limitations include the need for specialised training, the potential for pain and bleeding, and degree-specific scope of practice restrictions. This study investigated a novel multifaceted, sharp debridement device as a potential addition to the current portfolio of debridement technologies.
