About this trial
This study is a prospective, multicenter, real-world observational study. It aims to evaluate whether adding plasma device therapy to standard wound care is effective and safe for treating different types of wounds, including acute wounds (such as burns and surgical incisions), chronic wounds (such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure injuries), post-grafting wounds, and sutured wounds.
A total of 500 patients receiving standard wound care plus plasma therapy will be enrolled from multiple hospitals across China. Their outcomes will be compared with 500 matched patients who received standard wound care alone. The main outcomes include wound healing rate at 4 weeks, time to complete wound closure, pain relief, scar formation, and any side effects. Patients will be followed for up to 6 months.
