Study Groups

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

Chemical Debridement

1 single treatment of chemical debridement will be applied in this arm at initiation visit. No repeated treatment done in this trial

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Chemical Debridement

Intervention Type DEVICE

The chemical debridement is a dehydrating agent in a gel shape that will dry out the woundbed and biofilm.

Sharp debridement

In the control arm wound debridement by curettage will be performed at initiation visit and after 2 weeks when clinician deems this necessary, conform standard of care protocol

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Curettage debridement

Intervention Type DEVICE

The use of a currette will clean the wound bed. Debridement by mechanically removing the necrotic tissue and biofilm. This is performed confrom the standard of care standards.
