Skin-to-skin time is defined as the time of incision to the end time of debridement (wound ready for dressing application). Conventional debridement is defined as scalpel plus pulse lavage.\n\nThe purpose of this comparison is to demonstrate the resource savings which VERSAJET™ may provide in terms of operating room (OR) and personnel time, in addition to the potential to reduce the procedure, and possibly anaesthetic, time for the patient. It is envisaged that this information, combined with the costs associated with the procedure, will also provide valuable economic data to help justify the use of VERSAJET™ from a financial perspective and support the future commercial success of the device.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients who are at least 18 years of age.\n* Males and females (provided they are not pregnant or, if of reproductive age, are using contraception).\n* Patients with a venous stasis, diabetic foot or decubitus reference ulcer located between the tibia and foot.\n* Patients undergoing surgical debridement of their reference ulcer in the operating room (OR).\n* Patients undergoing their first surgical debridement of the reference ulcer.\n* Patients suitable for debridement of their reference ulcer with both VERSAJET™ and conventional debridement techniques.\n* Patients who are able to understand the evaluation and are willing and able to provide written consent to participate in the evaluation.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with clinical signs of infection in the reference ulcer (e.g. purulence and / or odour).\n* Patients with haemophilia\n* Patients who have been treated with topical steroids, systemic immunosuppressants (including corticosteroids), anticoagulants or cytotoxic chemotherapy in the last 30 days, or who are anticipated to require such medications during the course of the study.\n* Patients known to have Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or known to be infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).\n* Patients who suffer from acute or chronic bacterial, viral or fungal skin diseases that would interfere with wound healing.\n* Patients with a known history of poor compliance with medical treatment.\n* Patients who have participated in this evaluation previously or are currently participating in another clinical study.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00521027', 'briefTitle': 'Study Comparing VERSAJET With Conventional Surgical Procedures in the Removal of Unhealthy Tissue From Lower Limb Ulcers', 'organization': {'class': 'INDUSTRY', 'fullName': 'Smith & Nephew, Inc.'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Prospective, Comparative, Single-centre Clinical Evaluation to Investigate the Skin-to-skin Time of the First Surgical Debridement of Lower Extremity Ulcers With VERSAJET™ Hydrosurgery System and Conventional Debridement Techniques.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CE025VJT'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Treatment', 'description': 'Debridement with Versajet Hydrosurgery system', 'interventionNames': ['Device: Versajet Hydrosurgery System']}, {'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Control', 'description': 'Conventional surgical debridement techniques', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Conventional surgical debridement techniques']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Versajet Hydrosurgery System', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': 'Debridement with Versajet Hydrosurgery System', 'armGroupLabels': ['Treatment']}, {'name': 'Conventional surgical debridement techniques', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Conventional surgical debridement with scalpel and pulse lavage', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '07109', 'city': 'Belleville', 'state': 'New Jersey', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Clara Maass Medical Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 40.79371, 'lon': -74.15014}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Wayne J Caputo, DPM', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Clara Maass Medical Center'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Smith & Nephew, Inc.', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}}}}
