A Multi-centre Evaluation of the Performance of Window Dressings on Subjects With High Risk Pressure Ulceration

August 22, 2016 updated by: Molnlycke Health Care AB

A Multi-centre, Post CE-mark, Open Study to Evaluate the Performance of Thin Self-adherent Dressing Coated With a Soft Silicone Layer on Subjects With High Risk of Category 2 or Above Pressure Ulceration

This study will be conducted in approximately 26 subjects in UK to yield 20 evaluable subjects at 3 sites with approximately 5-10 subjects/site. Subjects with acute vascular, surgical and orthopaedic medical care in the elderly admission, with a high risk to develop skin breakdown or subjects with category 1 pressure ulcer can be enrolled in this investigation.

The rational for this study is to evaluate the potential for Window in the prevention of pressure ulcers because of its ability to reduce shear and friction forces.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Window
WindowTM is a protective layer that may reduce the shear and friction on the skin and may help to prevent skin breakdown. Window TM provides instant tack adhesion that minimizes the requirement of extra pressure in order to fixate well. The product does not leave residues and the adhesion level does not increase over time.
Device: Window
Dressing
