Effectiveness of Aurix Therapy in Pressure Ulcers

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common problem in all patient care settings, especially long-term acute care facilities and nursing homes. Aurix is a platelet-rich plasma gel used in the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds. The results of Aurix to date when used to treat PUs have been promising. The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of complete wound healing in a prospective, open-label, randomized trial in which pressure ulcers will be treated using Aurix and standard of care to determine time to heal at 16 weeks. Comparison will be made to patients receiving undefined Usual and Customary Care in a 1:1 manner.
