Patients and clinicians experiences of hair cycle modulation to facilitate wound healing: a qualitative study within a trial (SWAT) Jan 1, 2024 - Jun 30, 2025
Background: Chronic wounds, delayed healing and surgical site infection affect a significant number of patients. They substantially decrease quality of life and can lead to repeated hospital admission, social isolation, chronic pain limb loss and dea...

The DRESSINg trial: A multicentre randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of Dialkylcarbamoylchloride (DACC) coated post-operative dressings versus standard care in the prevention of Surgical Site Infection in clean or clean contaminated vascular surgery Oct 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2026
Aims
This study aims to investigate the role of a new dressing (DACC) in preventing wound infection follow vascular surgery. This dressing has a special coating that binds to bacteria irreversibly, allowing them to be removed. The DACC dressings wil...

Depilation Feasibility PPI: The Impact of Depilation upon Wound Healing and Post-Surgical Complications: A Feasibility Study (The DEPILATION-Feasibility STUDY) - Patient and Public Involvement Jul 1, 2021 - Jun 30, 2022
Wound complications such as infection or dehiscence (where all or part of the wound bursts open) are the most common complication following surgery. The cost of infection alone to the NHS may be upwards of £700 million every year.

Infections are m... Read More about Depilation Feasibility PPI: The Impact of Depilation upon Wound Healing and Post-Surgical Complications: A Feasibility Study (The DEPILATION-Feasibility STUDY) - Patient and Public Involvement.
