Effect of Oasis® Wound Matrix on Stage III and IV Trunk Pressure Wounds Treated With Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

This study evaluates the therapeutic effect of Oasis® Matrix along with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) on pressure wounds. Either Oasis or standard foam will be applied to the wound prior to activating the NPWT.

About this study

In this study, patients being treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) will be randomized to receive either:

  • Oasis® matrix, applied to the wound, along with standard of care including NPWT OR
  • Standard foam, applied to the wound prior to activation of NPWT, which is standard care.

Wounds will be examined weekly for up to 12 weeks. At weeks 4, 8, and 12, the NPWT evacuation canister will be collected for specimen analysis.

The aim of this study is to determine the therapeutic effect of using Oasis® Wound Matrix with NPWT. Outcomes include: a) closure rate of non-healing wounds, and b) levels of growth factors and interleukins in fluid evacuated from the wound.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults aged 18-89 who exhibit stage III or IV trunk pressure wounds with no signs of infection.
  • HbA1C < 8 (if patient is diabetic)
  • Adequate nutrition including albumin above 2.0 and prealbumin above 15.

Exclusion criteria

  • Wounds that cannot have a NPWT device properly applied due to location (too close to anus), diarrhea, periwound skin issues.
  • Patients with Infected wounds.

Treatment and study plan

NPWT Standard of Care plus Oasis wound product

Device

Oasis® is a porcine acellular small intestine submucosa material compatible with human tissue. It is a complex scaffold that provides optimal environment for restoration of tissue structure. It guides tissue growth and traps growth factors. Oasis Matrix indications include partial and full thickness wounds and skin loss injuries as well as second-degree burns.

Routine NPWT Standard of Care

Device

Specialized material, often foam, designed to protect the wound and promote healing during NPWT.

Primary outcomes

  1. Closure Rate of Non-healing Wounds

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Wound dimensions will be measured weekly and monitored for changes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Growth Factors

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Fluid collected from the wound will be examined for the presence of growth factors and interleukins.
