Official Title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Enzymatic Debridement of Pressure Ulcers With Clostridial Collagenase Ointment (SANTYL®) or Hydrogel (SoloSite®)
Brief Summary: This study is designed to compare SANTYL® versus hydrogel (SoloSite®) in the treatment of pressure ulcers for participants in a long-term care facility. After meeting study criteria, participants will be randomly assigned for application of SANTYL® or SoloSite® to their pressure ulcer for up to 6 weeks. A study previously conducted showed that in the long-term care setting, the removal of dead skin (debridement) with SANTYL® resulted in more participants achieving complete debridement, more rapidly than when SoloSite® is used. The goal of the present study is to confirm the results of the earlier study, demonstrating superior debridement outcomes for pressure ulcers of patients in long-term care as compared to ulcers managed with SoloSite®.
