B26. The aim of this trial is to:

Spray on skin for diabetic foot ulcers: an open label randomised controlled trial:

A novel intervention towards achieving these goals is the use of spray-on skin for patients with DFU. The application of ‘spray-on’ autologous skin grafting aids epithelial regeneration and wound healing and has been used successfully for the treatment of burns to improve healing. In this research project we will compare spray-on skin with standard care in an open label randomised controlled trial in patients presenting to hospital with DFU. We hypothesise that spray-on skin will shorten the time for the ulcer to heal completely. In doing so, this approach can be expected to prevent amputations and recurrent ulceration whilst improving quality of life. Outpatient costs for dressings, home nursing visits and outpatient appointments are key cost drivers for DFU. If spray-on skin is effective, large cost savings to WA Health will be realised immediately through a shortened time to healing, and through a higher proportion of patients achieving complete healing. Any economic benefits are likely to be amplified across Australia and other similar demographic settings where ageing populations with increased diabetes rates are considered major future challenges.

Check if burns heal at the same rate as diabetic foot ulcers when the same dressing is used.

See if a spray-on skin dressing saves money and improves patient outcomes.

See if patients getting care in outpatient departments heal quicker than those having care provided in their own home.
