This study evaluated the effectiveness of Collagen/ORC, a novel wound dressing, in treating diabetic foot ulcers. 10 patients with chronic wounds that had not reduced in size by at least 30% over 12 weeks received Collagen/ORC dressings every 2-3 days for up to 12 weeks. After 2 weeks of treatment, wound size had decreased by an average of 65% and by 8 weeks, 9 of the 10 patients' wounds had completely healed. The results showed that Collagen/ORC promoted healing in diabetic patients with stalled chronic ulcers.
