New bandage tested for leg ulcer healing
NCT ID NCT07600489
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of compression bandages for treating venous leg ulcers, which are slow-healing wounds on the lower leg. About 386 adults will receive either the new Mepi Press 2 or the standard UrgoK2 bandage for up to 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the new bandage works as well at healing the ulcers completely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Compression bandage system (Mepi Press 2)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new, equally effective option for treating venous leg ulcers with compression therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a non-inferiority trial comparing two existing devices, so no major breakthrough is expected. Results may show similar effectiveness, not superiority.
