What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the progress of chronic venous leg ulcers in adults using a non-bordered foam dressing. This prospective, open, multi-center, interventional study aims to track wound healing over a 6-week period or until the wound heals. The study focuses on venous leg ulcers that produce moderate to large amounts of fluid and includes 20 participants across centers in the US and Canada. All participants will use the ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive foam dressing as the primary absorbent dressing. This device combines a breathable top film, a highly absorbent foam core, and a non-adhesive wound contact layer designed for comfort and optimal moist wound healing. The dressing will be worn continuously and changed every week during the treatment period. Participants will attend seven visits: a baseline visit followed by weekly visits up to six weeks. At each visit, wound progress will be assessed by measuring wound size and evaluating wound condition. Researchers will also monitor pain, comfort, quality of life, dressing performance, and safety throughout the study. The main outcome measured is wound progress from baseline to last follow-up, with additional assessments including wound area reduction, tissue changes, exudate characteristics, skin condition, and adverse events.
