Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEvaluation of tissue engineering products for the management of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers: an interim analysis.
The objective of this prospective, multicentre clinical study is to assess the application of MatriStem MicroMatrix (MSMM) and MatriStem Wound Matrix (MSWM) (porcine urinary bladder derived extracellular matrix) compared with Dermagraft (DG) (human fibroblast-derived dermal substitute) for the management of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). ⋯ The opinions expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Department of Veterans Affairs or the United States Government. T.W. Gilbert is employed as the Chief Science Officer and is a stockholder in ACell, Inc., which commercializes MatriStem Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix. None of the other authors have a conflict of interest to declare.
