• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged 18 years and over
• Patients able and willing to provide informed consent/Personal Consultee/Nominated consultee/ Their nominated consultee
• Intact healthy skin
• Stage I pressure ulcer/injury
• Patients who are at risk of developing skin breakdown (injury), in any clinical setting, with at least one clinically vulnerable area (including but not limited to sacrum, heel, elbows, hips, ischial tuberosity and spine)
• Braden score of 12 or less

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with known allergies to any of the materials used in the dressing
• Subjects requiring any oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite solutions
• Patients who are at high risk of unavoidable skin breakdown for example caused by a medical device (for example, under ventilation or faecal management systems)
• Patients with a wound of any aetiology on the area under investigation Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are considered unsuitable for any other reason
• Patients with a history of previous healed pressure ulcer/ injury in the area under investigation
• Patients who demonstrate a deterioration of skin from baseline skin assessment

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: ConvaFoam Dressings; All participants skin areas will be assessed and allocated a dressing based upon the investigator's clinical judgement. They will receive either ConvaFoam Border, Silicone or Non-Adhesive for up to 2 weeks as an addition to their standard pressure injury prevention protocol.

Device: ConvaFoam; ConvaFoam™ Silicone, ConvaFoam™ Border and ConvaFoam™ non-adhesive dressings are designed to provide a moist wound healing environment and removing dead-space between the wound and dressing interface. These dressings are designed to manage excess exudate levels which may further damage the wound bed and surrounding skin. In addition, the dressings are designed to protect fragile skin from moisture, shear, and friction damage. These will be used in line with the patients pressure injury mitigation protocol for a 2 week period, with daily inspections of the skin area.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
To measure the efficacy of ConvaFoam™ Silicone, ConvaFoam™ Border and ConvaFoam™ non-adhesive dressings when used to protect of skin against breakdown.	This will be measured by: • The incidence of skin breakdown	2 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
To assess the safety of ConvaFoam™ Silicone, ConvaFoam™ Border and ConvaFoam™ non-adhesive dressings when used to protect skin against breakdown.	This will be measured via reporting all device related adverse events and device malfunctions, such as allergic reactions, bleeding, pain/discomfort in area of dressing, skin irritation, and reported as per protocol	2 weeks
To assess the performance of ConvaFoam™ Silicone, ConvaFoam™ Border and ConvaFoam™ non-adhesive dressings when used to protect skin against breakdown.	This will be measured by reporting: The number of times the dressing has been lifted and reapplied before needing to be replaced compared to the instructions for use. The ability of the dressing to be reapplied to the skin following skin assessments as per the patients standard of care.	2 weeks
