Brief Summary:
The etiology of non-healing ulcers depends on both systemic and local factors. The introduction of advanced dressing, negative wound therapy and compression therapy have undoubtedly improved clinical outcomes. The principal aim of study was to demonstrate the efficacy of skin micrografts in the treatment of skin substance loss.

Condition or disease
Cutaneous Ulcer Trauma Injury

Detailed Description:

The principal aim of study was to evaluate the efficacy of skin micro-grafts obtained with the system of mechanical disintegration in the reconstruction of skin substance loss in the limbs.

The primary endpoint consists in evaluating, through a specific evaluation scale, the Wound Bed Score (WBS) for skin substance loss at Time 0 (T0) and 30 days after the procedure (T30) and to evaluate the increase of this score in this time frame set at 50%. The evaluation will be carried out in double blind.

The secondary endpoints instead consist in the evaluation of the Wound Surface Area Assessment to be carried out at T0 and T30.

In the evaluation of the quality of the resulting scars, through the Vancouver Scale (VS), 90 (T90) and 180 days (T180) after treatment and to evaluate the reduction of this score by 15%; on the other in the evaluation of the progress of the Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) administered to the patient at T0, 30, 90, 180.

The purpose of this minimally invasive treatment is to improve the quality of life of those affected by these injuries, avoiding the use of prolonged advanced medications and / or more invasive surgical procedures, thus speeding up healing and favoring the clinical outcome of patients.

No chemical reagents or enzymes are used for the method. There is therefore no tissue manipulation, in full compliance with the European directive 23/2004.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Wound Bed Score values [ Time Frame: change of baseline wound bed score values at day 30 ]
    Percentage of patients with change of the Wound Bed Score values higher than 50%, after 30 days,


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Spontaneous re-epithelialization. [ Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 30 ]
    Percentage of patients with spontaneous re-epithelialization of the total wound surface, after 30 days, as assessed by Wound Surface Area Assessment

  2. Vancouver scale [ Time Frame: Day 30, Day 90 and Day 180 ]
    Percentage of patients with change of Vancouver scale values higher than 15%
