Pig liver bandage shows promise for stubborn wounds in small new study
NCT ID NCT06939673
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wound dressing called Miro3D, made from pig liver tissue, to see if it helps heal hard-to-treat wounds like diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers. Up to 20 adults will receive the dressing along with standard care for up to 12 weeks. Researchers will measure wound shrinkage, new tissue growth, and changes in quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 or older and able to provide informed consent. 2. Has an open wound or ulceration, preferably with tunneling or undermining. 3. If multiple wounds/ulcerations are present, only one will be selected for Miro3D treatment. 4. Other wounds must be ≥2 cm away from the study wound. 5. Wound should be debrided with a clinical goal of healing, even if some infection remains. 6. Previous infections must be adequately treated and controlled (per IDSA guidelines). 7. Willing and able to comply with offloading and/or compression requirements. 8. Must have a stable living environment for wound care adherence. 9. Study wound must have a clean base free of devitalized tissue or debris at the time of Miro3D placement. 10. Provides consent for digital photo documentation. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active, untreated osteomyelitis. 2. Malignancy or vasculitis at the wound site. 3. Undergoing chemotherapy. 4. On dialysis. 5. Use of investigational drugs or therapies within 30 days before screening. 6. Conditions that significantly impair study adherence or known history of medical non-compliance. 7. Known sensitivity to porcine materials. 8. Third-degree burns. 9. Worsening ischemia or gangrene at screening. 10. Prior radiation to the study wound site. 11. Exposed hardware, implants, or fixation devices in the study wound. 12. Receiving palliative or comfort care.
