Study Summary

Irrisept™ irrigation containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) 0.05% in sterile water, is an irrigation method that may help reduce bacterial load considerably more than traditional saline irrigation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. At least 18 years old.
  2. Presence of a partial and full thickness DFU extending at least through the dermis andinto the subcutaneous tissue down to the exposed tendon and fascia.
  3. Wounds present anatomically on the foot as defined by beginning below the malleoli ofthe ankle, excluding wounds on the heel.
  4. The index ulcer will be the largest ulcer if two or more eligible DFUs are present andwill be the only one evaluated in the study. If other ulcerations are present on thesame foot, they must be more than 2 cm distant from the index ulcer.
  5. Index ulcer (i.e., current episode of ulceration) has been present for greater than 4weeks prior to first screening visit (SV1) and less than 1 year, as of the date thesubject consents for study.
  6. Adequate circulation to the affected foot as documented by the following: palpablepedal pulses, pulses audibly biphasic or triphasic with handheld doppler, or recent (<6 month) vascular testing (both invasive & non-invasive).
  7. Females of childbearing potential must be willing to use acceptable methods ofcontraception (birth control pills, barriers or abstinence) during the course of thestudy and undergo pregnancy tests.
  8. Subject understands and is willing to participate in the clinical study and can complywith weekly visits.
  9. Subject understands they can exit the study at any time.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Clinical signs of infection at the start of the study
  2. Exposed bone(s)
  3. Immunocompromised as determined by treating physician
  4. Presence of greater than one full-thickness DFU less than 2 cm apart

Study Description

The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect patient outcome data on Irrisept™ irrigation. This is a jet irrigation of 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) in sterile water delivered under pressure by manual compression of the bottle by the user. This treatment allows for management of bioburden in a wound through broad spectrum antimicrobial activity by the CHG as well as removal of debris from the wound bed.

In this trial, participants with partial and full thickness diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) - 'full skin thickness and extending through the subcutaneous or fat layers or to deeper structures such as tendon and fascia will receive standard of care treatment with indicated off-loading device (SOC) for their condition in addition to wound bed irrigation with Irrisept™ or saline Irrigation.
