CMTP Publishes New Effectiveness Guidance Document on Devices for Local Treatment of Chronic Wounds
Today, CMTP released its newest EGD on Devices for Local Treatment of Chronic Wounds. They offer it for public review
Difficult-to-heal and chronic wounds negatively affect quality of life and incur high health care costs. Although a number of devices directed at local treatment of chronic wounds have received approval by the Food and Drug Administration the evidence that any one device improves wound healing in selected patients over other devices is inconclusive. In order to increase the likelihood that further research will be conducted in the comparative effectiveness of different chronic wound treatments, and that this research will result in information that will aid medical decision makes (physicians, payers, patients, etc.), CMTP published today an Effectiveness Guidance Document focusing on Devices for Local Treatment of Chronic Wounds. As with all of CMTP's EGDs, we are looking for comments on the content and structure of the document.
Please see the Devices for Local Treatment of Chronic Wounds EGD page for a full description, a copy of the document, and instructions on how to leave comments.
