Summary
This trial suggests a new irrigation method using CHG may help reduce bacteria in wounds more than traditional saline irrigation.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with diabetic foot ulcers extending through the skin into subcutaneous tissue, but not on heels or with exposed bones. Ulcers must be present for 4 weeks to less than a year and located more than 2 cm apart if multiple. Participants need good blood flow in the affected foot and women of childbearing age should use contraception.
What is being tested?
The study compares Irrisept irrigation, which includes Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), against traditional saline irrigation to see if it better reduces bacterial load in diabetic foot ulcers.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include local skin reactions like irritation or allergic responses due to CHG exposure during Irrisept treatment.
