In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Pressure injuries, commonly known as pressure ulcers, affect over 2.5 million people in the United States. Pressure injuries are classified into four escalating stages, from intact skin to full thickness wounds with deep tissue loss and exposed bone. This study will compare current standard of care treatment (as recommended by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel) to treatment with Altrazeal® in patients with stage 2, stage 3 and stage 4 pressure injury wounds. Altrazeal® is a Class 1, 501(k) exempt medical device listed with the FDA as a "dressing, wound, hydrogel" and has an extended wear time of up to 30 days. Subjects can be enrolled in the study either as an outpatient, or while hospitalized. Half of the subjects will be randomized to standard of care treatment, and the other half will be randomized to Altrazeal®. There are a total of up to 12 study visits taking place over 1
