Study Summary
This trial will investigate the healing of venous leg ulcers over 4 weeks in 178 patients, divided into two treatment groups.

Adults with a venous leg ulcer present for more than 8 weeks but less than 5 years, measuring between 2x2 cm and 10x10 cm, and not deeper than 2 cm. Participants must be able to use compression bandages, have an acceptable level of blood flow in their legs, and show signs of potential infection or high exudate. Excluded are those with exposed bones/tendons, recent immunosuppressive treatments, severe organ failure or allergies to silver/dressing materials.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two types of silver dressings: Biatain Ag and Cutimed Siltec Sorbact on people with venous leg ulcers. Patients will be randomly assigned to one treatment for four weeks followed by eight weeks standard care to see which dressing better aids wound healing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin irritation or allergic reactions at the site of the dressing application due to sensitivity towards silver or other ingredients in the dressings.
