NCT ID NCT06729411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new type of dressing for foot ulcers in people with diabetes. 40 adults with a diabetic foot ulcer were split into two groups: one got the new dressing, the other got a standard foam dressing. Everyone also wore a removable offloading boot. The main goal was to see how many ulcers healed completely within 12 weeks.
