Study Summary

This study is being done to collect data from treatment of patients who have diabetes with non-healing foot wounds and are being treated with a resorbable and biocompatible borate-based bioactive glass fiber matrix. A borate-based bioactive glass fiber matrix is used to cover the ulcer for wound management. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the borate-based bioactive glass fiber matrix in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in a real-world setting. The secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical and financial benefits in terms of quality of healing, pain, and treatment cost.

Study Start date:
September 20, 2024
Estimated Completion Date:
November 30, 2026

Study Description

While participants are taking part in this study, they will be asked to attend approximately 12 weekly visits, or until the ulcer has healed. After the ulcer has healed there will be two follow up visits for confirmation, these visits are two weeks apart. Visits with the researchers and/or study staff will last for 16 weeks or less. Participants will continue and complete regular follow-up visit with their treating doctor while participating in this study.

The purpose of this study is to collect information about the product safety and efficacy of real-world scenarios on treating diabetic foot ulcers. The data that will be collected will help understand long-term risk and benefit from a real-world population.
