Further study details as provided by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary endpoint of this study will be rate of wound healing (judged as per cent complete wound closure) at the two (2) and three (3) week follow-up visits. [ Time Frame: two and three weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • occurence of wound infection [ Time Frame: two and three weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 120
Study Start Date: December 2008
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Group II: Active Comparator
Taliderm™ dressing applied until the next scheduled dressing change (up to eight hours), then replaced by a gauze dressing. Gauze dressing changes will continue per standard of care until the scheduled follow-up visits (first or second visit). At the scheduled follow-up visits, the subject will have a Taliderm™ dressing applied and left in place until the next scheduled dressing change (up to eight hours), then will continue standard of care wet to dry gauze dressing changes until next scheduled follow-up visit.
Other: Taliderm™
Taliderm™ dressing application up to three applications
III: No Intervention
standard wet to dry dressing with gauze
Other: standard wet to dry dressing with gauze
wet to dry dressing standard of care
group I: Active Comparator
Taliderm™ dressing applied until the next scheduled dressing change (up to eight hours), then replaced by a gauze dressing
Other: Taliderm™
taliderm™ dressing application once
