New skin graft aims to heal stubborn bedsores
NCT ID NCT07158658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special skin graft called NeoThelium FT to see if it can heal chronic pressure ulcers (bedsores) in 10 adults. The goal is complete wound closure within 16 weeks. Participants must have stage 2 or 3 ulcers on the pelvis or leg, without infection, and meet other size and depth criteria.
