Summary

Study objectives

The primary objective of the investigation was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of HRWD in wound bed preparation (i.e., debriding the wound of slough/necrotic tissue), supporting the generation of granulation tissue and enabling healing progression in patients with a variety of different wound types.

As part of this evaluation, subjective assessment of the percentage of devitalised tissue present and its subsequent removal, and wound bed preparation (e.g., development of granulation/epithelial tissue) was undertaken at each assessment time point. Wound status (changes in wound size and healing phase) were also included in this analysis.
