Clinical evidence for ADMs in wound care and ulcers.

Authors Product name(s), Material Usage, Population Summary findings
Case series and case reports
Pontell et al. (2018) Integra™,
BADM
Lower-extremity wound reconstruction
8 patients: 4 with all components and 4 with only RSAF and STSG
  • RSAF and immediate STSG group time of healing was 141.2 days on average and 2 required reoperation

  • ADM, STSG, NPWT and RSAF group time of healing was 104.5 days and 1 patient required reoperation (reduction in about 36.7 days, or 25%)

  • All patients achieved complete wound closure

Retrospective studies
Paredes et al. (2017) PriMatrix®, FBADM Chronic, large venous leg ulcers
33 patients, 40 total wounds
Excluded: Those with non- CEAP class 6 wounds
  • 45% of wounds had been open for ≥12 months

  • Wound sizes are in the range of 0.24–131.35 cm2, mean = 21.1 ± 27.4 cm2

  • 4 weeks after treatment: 23.5% median area of reduction for all wounds

  • Average VLU closure rate of 1.96 cm2/week after 4 weeks

  • Those that required reapplication of FBADM (14/40 wounds): ≥40% reduction in wound size after 4 weeks

Prospective studies
Cazzell et al. (2019) DermACELL®,
HADM
VLUs
28 patients: 18 utilising D-ADM and 10 without
  • Average reduction in percent wound area of 59.6% at 24 weeks in the D-ADM group vs. 8.1% at 24 weeks

  • Substantial wound area reduction was seen in wounds present for <1 year in the D-ADM arm (74.1%) compared with conventional care (2.0%)

  • 1 application of D-ADM had a substantial increase in the healing rate over the control (44.4% vs. 33.3%, respectively) after 24 weeks

  • D-ADM wounds remained closed at higher rate than non-D-ADM

Kavros et al. (2014) PriMatrix®, FBADM DFUs
46 patients completed (out of 55)
Mean age: 61 ± 14 years
Mean BMI: 28.9 ± 4.3
BMI of 38 or less
Those with comorbidities were excluded
  • 76% of the completed treatment population achieved complete wound closure by week 12 post-operation, with a mean time of 53.1 ± 21.9 days to close

  • 57.1% used only 1 round PriMatrix, and 22.9% required 2

  • 23 ± 13.5 days on average in between each application

  • For those that did not completely heal, wound reduction area by 12 weeks was 71.4% ± 27.0%
