Use of Fish Skin Extracellular Matrix (ECM) to Facilitate Chronic Wound Healing
Chronic Wound Treatment With Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Scaffold Made From Fish Proteins

The clinical study is designed to assess the effectiveness, safety and non-immunogenicity of fish skin wound dressing extracellular matrix (ECM) in treating chronic wounds.

The wound dressing is indicated for the management of difficult to heal and chronic wounds. The matrix is cut to fit the wound and is applied to the wound bed. An absorptive secondary dressing is put on top. Further dressing of the wound depends on the etiology.

The indications for use are:

  • partial and full-thickness wounds
  • pressure ulcers
  • venous ulcers
  • diabetic ulcers
  • chronic vascular ulcers
  • tunneled/undermined wounds
  • trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, and skin tears)

Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Pressure Ulcers
  • Venous Ulcers
  • Diabetic Ulcers
  • Chronic Ulcer of Foot
  • Trauma-related Wound
Device: Marigen Wound Dressing
The dressing is changed at least twice a week, with no more than five days between dressing changes. It is extremely important that the dressings are changed sufficiently often. On highly exuding ulcers the three or four dressing changes per week may be necessary. Duration is four weeks.
Experimental: Marigen Wound Dressing
