Abstract
INTRODUCTION
CAMPs are used for treating refractory DFUs where other treatments have failed. PLA is a CAMP that has demonstrated effectiveness in promoting healing in burns and acute wounds.
OBJECTIVE
A single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing PLA-guided closure matrices versus collagen dressings was conducted to assess healing of Wagner grades 1 and 2 DFUs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 30 participants were randomized to receive weekly debridement, wound care, and DFU offloading plus either PLA or collagen CAMPs. The primary outcome was the time to achieve full healing, and the secondary outcome was the proportion of ulcers healed at 12 weeks.
RESULTS
The median time to achieve full healing was 9.3 ± 2.9 weeks in the PLA group versus 14.8 ± 8.1 weeks in the collagen group (P = .021), representing a 44% reduction in the time to heal. Furthermore, by 12 weeks, 80% of the PLA-treated ulcers were healed compared to only 33% in the collagen group (P = .025).
CONCLUSION
The results of this study show PLA matrices induce a potent healing response that leads to reduced healing time and an increased OR for achieving healing by 12 weeks.
期刊介绍:
Wounds is the most widely read, peer-reviewed journal focusing on wound care and wound research. The information disseminated to our readers includes valuable research and commentaries on tissue repair and regeneration, biology and biochemistry of wound healing, and clinical management of various wound etiologies.
Our multidisciplinary readership consists of dermatologists, general surgeons, plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons, internal medicine/family practitioners, podiatrists, gerontologists, researchers in industry or academia (PhDs), orthopedic surgeons, infectious disease physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. These practitioners must be well equipped to deal with a myriad of chronic wound conditions affecting their patients including vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, dermatological disorders, and more.
Whether dealing with a traumatic wound, a surgical or non-skin wound, a burn injury, or a diabetic foot ulcer, wound care professionals turn to Wounds for the latest in research and practice in this ever-growing field of medicine.
