Summary
This study compares Vashe solution, a wound cleanser, to standard saline for treating leg ulcers that show signs of heavy bacterial infection. About 102 adults with venous or mixed leg ulcers will be randomly assigned to one of the two solutions. The goal is to see if Vashe reduces inflammation and is safe to use.
