NCT ID NCT05496296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special powder dressing called Altrazeal for treating bedsores (pressure ulcers) in stages 2, 3, and 4. About 300 adults will either get this new dressing or standard care. The main goal is to see if the new dressing needs fewer changes and helps wounds heal better over 12 weeks.
