Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In recent years, salve prepared from Norway spruce (Picea abies) resin and refined honey from manuka myrtle (Leptospermum scoparium), has successfully been used in medical context to treat both acute and chronic surgical wounds. The objective of this prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial is to investigate healing rate and healing time of surgical wounds in patients, who have undergone peripheral vascular surgery, and whose complicated wounds are candidate for topical treatment with the resin or honey. In addition, factors contributing with delayed wound healing, antimicrobial properties, safety and cost-effectiveness of the resin salve and medical honey will be analyzed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Resin & honey

Abilar 10% resin salve

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Abilar 10% resin salve

Intervention Type DEVICE

The resin salve may be spread directly onto the wound, after which the area is covered with a bandage suitable for local wound care. The bandage prohibits salve from moving away from the wound area. If the skin condition is more widespread or contains cavities or fistulae, the salve may be spread as a film with a thickness of at least 1 mm onto a gauze or gauze ribbon that is then used to fill the cavity or fistulae channel. Bandages are changed every 1-3 days, depending on the degree of infection and amount of wound secretion.

Resin vs. honey

Activon Tube 25 g

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Activon Tube 25 g

Intervention Type DEVICE

Wound care with the medical honey is carried out in the same manner than the resin salve treatment: honey may be spread directly onto the wound and the wound area is covered with a bandage suitable for local wound care. Similarly, if the skin condition is more widespread or wound contains cavities or fistulae, the medical honey may be spread as a film with a thickness of at least 1 mm onto a gauze or gauze ribbon that is then used to fill the cavity or fistulae channel. Bandages are changed every 1-3 days, depending on the severity of infection and amount of wound secretion.
