Summary
This study tested a special wound dressing called MicroMatrix Flex on 25 adults with deep or tunneled wounds, such as pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, or infected wounds. The goal was to see how safely and quickly the dressing helped close these wounds over 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in wound size and depth at each visit.
