Topic Status Incomplete
Micropore particle technology for the treatment of non-healing wounds (Amicapsil).
Summary
Micropore particle technology (MPPT) involves a wound dressing with tiny pores that create powerful suction forces that draw fluid from the wound to the surface. This aims to allow the immune system to better control wound infection and support wound healing. Health Technology Wales researchers searched for evidence on the clinical and cost effectiveness of MPPT for the treatment of non-healing wounds.
A decision on whether to progress this topic to full appraisal is pending.
