Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Application of biodegradable temporising matrix (BTM) to complex diabetic foot wounds (defined by exposure of deep structures such as tendon, bone and joint). This may be followed by skin grafting approximately 4 weeks later.
It is a single application in theatre which will be performed by a Plastic Surgeon. Following this intervention the wound will needed to be dressed 2 times a week for approximately 4 weeks. Dressing changes will be performed by a nurse specialist in wound under supervision of plastic surgeon.
Wounds larger than 4sq cm will be considered for skin grafting approximately 4 weeks post BTM application. Skin grafting will be performed in theatre by a plastic or vascular surgeon with experience in this procedure.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 305510 0
Proportion of patients with wound healed assessed by clinical assessment and wound photography during follow up.
Complete healing defined as complete epithelialization of the wound.
Timepoint [1] 305510 0
12 weeks post BTM application
Secondary outcome [1] 345548 0
Wound healing rate assessed by wound photography
Timepoint [1] 345548 0
At 4, 8 and 12 weeks post BTM application
Secondary outcome [2] 345549 0
Time for complete wound healing assessed by clinical assessment and wound photography during follow ups.
Timepoint [2] 345549 0
up to 12 months post BTM application
After integration of the BTM there will be no specific follow up for the research. Patients will be seen in foot clinic as per clinical need until wound is healed where information will be collected and photo of the wound taken). Information for research purpose will be collected up to 12 months post-BTM application. Usually these patients are seen monthly in the foot clinic, however depending on the burden of the disease - based on the size of the wound, perfusion and presence and severity of infection - they can be seen more or less frequently

Summary
Brief summary
Complex diabetic foot wounds such as those with exposed tendon, muscle, fascia, joint or bone, present a great therapeutic challenge to health care professionals. This research aims to assess the use of a biodegradable temporising matrix (BTM) in reconstruction of complex diabetic foot wounds.
BTM is entirely synthetic matrix made of polyurethane and works as a scaffold that results in creation of new dermis-like layer. It has the potential to improve wound healing complex wounds as it has been demonstrated in previous human studies.
Participants will be diabetic patients with deep complex foot. Intervention will consist of of application of BTM in theatre followed by split skin grafting at a later date if necessary. Wound healing will be assessed using a WoundVue camera, which is a hand held portable device that takes 2D and 3D images and provides wound measurements.
