A Comparison of TCC-EZ Using Human Amnion Allograft vs TCC-EZ and Standard Wound Care in Treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers.

Summary

A Comparison of AmnioExcel® and Total Contact Casting (TCC-EZ) Versus Standard Wound Care and TCC-EZ in Treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers Best practice is to treat DFUs with standardized care and, if unsuccessful, use advanced modalities. This prospective clinical trial will compare healing rates between two treatment modalities in patients with DFUs in an ambulatory wound care clinic. The treatments are Total Contact Cast (TCC-EZ) with AmnioExcel® and TCC-EZ with standard treatment. Adult participants 18 years or older with a diabetic foot ulcer located on the plantar surface and \>1 cm in diameter will be asked by the Altru Wound Care Clinic MD or Family Nurse Practitioner visit to participate in the study if they have not demonstrated a 50% in reduction in wound area after two weeks of standard treatment. For those potential subjects who do not have 3rd party reimbursement the cost of the product and application will be covered by the respective company. They must be cognitively intact as evaluated by wound clinic primary care providers. Participants must agree to use the study treatments as directed, and to keep clinic visits during the 12-week trial or until the ulcer closes, whichever comes first.
