A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing the Use of a Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix to Cadaver Skin in the Reconstruction of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Excisions

We're studying new methods for treating Hidradenitis Suppurativa excisions.

All
Phase 4

This study involves patients with **Hidradenitis Suppurativa** (HS), a skin condition causing painful bumps. **BTM** (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix) and **SOC** (Standard of Care) will be compared in treating HS wounds. Ten patients will be enrolled, with five receiving BTM and five receiving SOC. After cleaning and preparing the wound, either BTM or SOC will be applied. Photos will be taken to track progress. The wounds will be covered with special dressings to prevent infection and friction. Doctors may use **Negative Pressure Wound Therapy** to help heal the wound.

Patients will visit the clinic weekly and have long-term follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months. The study will check how well the wound heals and if there are scars. Participants must be at least 18 years old and able to follow study procedures. Some people, like those with certain heart conditions or allergies, cannot join.

  • Study lasts up to 12 months with regular clinic visits.
  • Participants will undergo a surgical procedure and treatment.
  • There may be risks like infection or slow healing.
