Assessment of Wound Healing, Cooling Efficacy and Local Tolerability of a Wound Care Hydrogel With Intraindividual Comparison Using an Abrasive Wound Model in a Single-center, Randomized, Investigatorblind Clinical Investigation.

The study focuses on evaluating a new wound care hydrogel to see how well it helps wounds heal and how effectively it cools the affected area. It is conducted on individuals with minor skin wounds created using a gentle abrasive method. This research is important because finding effective ways to promote faster and more comfortable healing of wounds can significantly improve the quality of care for people dealing with skin injuries. Participants in the study receive the hydrogel treatment directly on their wounds. The healing is measured by looking at how much the skin has re-grown over the wound, known as re-epithelialization. Cooling effects are checked right after the first application. The study also evaluates how well the skin tolerates the treatment, checking for any irritation or discomfort. Cosmetic outcomes are assessed by both the investigator and the participants using a visual scale, and participants also fill out a questionnaire about their experience with the product. The study tracks how long it takes for the wounds to fully or mostly heal, providing valuable insights into the hydrogel's effectiveness.
