Official title

Activated Carbon Interphase Effect on Biofilm and Total Bacterial Load: A Randomized Pilot Study

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this randomized, prospective study is to evaluate how this activated carbon dressing affects the total bacterial load and biofilm in a wound bed in wounds of the lower extremity and foot. We anticipate that the use of Zorflex® Activated Carbon Cloth dressing will maintain the bacterial burden in the wound bed below the level of critical colonization, with potential secondary benefits of pain reduction, decrease in inflammation, and control of odor. Wound bed healing progression/acceleration also will be assessed.
