Abstract
Objectives: An open label, single-centric, post market clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new antimicrobial wound dressing (VELVERT) as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of venous leg ulcer (VLU).
Methods: Patients with VLU of grade C-5 according to CEAP classification and above were evaluated using doppler ultra sound. The efficacy of new antimicrobial wound dressing (VELVERT) was assessed in terms of wound area reduction within a time frame of 60 days and surgeon questioners. Patients were evaluated for VELVERT safety and pain level on a scale of 0-10 Numeric Pain Chart. Presence of micro-organism load was monitored at regular time interval.
Results: VELVERT treatment was effective as 71.43% reduction in the ulcer area was observed. After 60 days, a total of 9 (45%) patients had complete ulcer closure. A remarkable decrease in the severity of pain was observed with 11 (55%) patients expressing no pain at the EOT. Swab test showed negative result for micro-organism growth. No serious adverse events were observed during the trial.
Conclusion: The data indicates that VELVERT is an effective treatment for VLUs and showed the potential in the wound care of VLUs.
