A Retrospective, Observational Case Series of Lower-Extremity Wound Management Using CompleteFT
Summary: This retrospective case series evaluates the use of CompleteFT, a full-thickness placental tissue allograft, in managing non-healing lower-extremity wounds in four patients at a Cleveland, Ohio mobile wound center. Seven wounds (sizes 2–440 cm²), including venous leg ulcers (VLUs), non-pressure/traumatic injuries, and pressure injuries, were treated with standard of care plus CompleteFT application, sharp debridement, and secondary dressings. Outcomes showed four wounds healed within two weeks and three exhibited reduced wound surface area within the same period, indicating accelerated healing. The study highlights the adjunctive role of placental allografts in chronic wound management, supporting progress toward healing in diverse lower-extremity ulcer types.
Key Highlights:
- Four of seven wounds achieved full healing as early as two weeks after CompleteFT application.
- Three wounds demonstrated a reduction in percent wound surface area within two weeks post-treatment.
- Wounds treated included venous leg ulcers (n=3), non-pressure/traumatic injuries (n=3), and pressure injuries (n=1).
- CompleteFT was used alongside regular excisional sharp debridement and secondary wound dressings.
- Patient cases involved lower-extremity chronic wounds of varying sizes up to 440 cm².
