A Prospective, Randomized, Open Label Trial of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel Plus Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy Versus Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy Alone in Orthopedic Trauma Wounds.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel in conjunction
with serial wound debridement and irrigation on the healing rates of open traumatic
orthopedic and soft tissue wounds when compared to a serial wound debridement and irrigation
alone in patients receiving negative pressure wound therapy/vacuum assisted closure
(NPWT/VAC) with reticulated open cell foam (ROCF) dressings.
