ABSTRACT

Urgo Medical recently announced the launch of the Explorer study, a large, Europe-wide, clinical study on the efficacy and tolerability of UrgoStart Contact, a lipidocolloid technology dressing impregnated with nano-oligosaccharide factor, in the treatment of diabetic foot ulceration. The number of patients, investigating centres and countries involved, as well as the length of treatment and patient follow-up, make this an ambitious, double-blind, randomised controlled trial.
