Abstract

The care of wounds is a particularly difficult issue in the field of medicine. Chronic ulcers, also known as non-healing ulcers, are those that do not heal in a predetermined amount of time despite receiving adequate therapy. In order to manage chronic non-healing ulcers, the current study compares the effectiveness of collagen with traditional (saline, betadine, magnesium sulphate, vinegar) dressings. Methods: Following clearance from the institutional ethics committee, sixty patients with chronic, non-healing ulcers were included in a prospective, randomised clinical trial. The ulcers were clinically examined and a thorough history was taken. A test group of 30 patients and a control group of 30 patients were assigned to the patients at random. Relevant research was conducted. While cases in the control group received conventional dressings and mechanical debridement, patients in the test group received collagen dressings. At days 21, 35, and 42, patients were followed up for longer periods of time than at 2 and 3 months.
