Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare safety and performance of the study device to the current typical NHS standards of care device. The main outcomes it aims to achieve are:
Complete wound healing at 12 weeks (100% epithelialised)
% Reduction in wound area at 12 weeks
Participants will attend their NHS podiatry clinic appointment as normal and will be assigned either the study device or the current typical NHS standard of care device. Researchers will compare the study device group to the standard group to assess the outcomes mentioned previously.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and performance of the RTD Wound Dressing in the treatment of non-infected neuropathic, ischaemic, and neuro-ischaemic diabetic foot ulcers versus standard of care. This clinical evaluation study will be performed under an open-label, comparative, design in the single health board of NHS Lanarkshire within 3 diabetic foot clinics.
