Background:This study compared the efficacy of topical Hydrogel wound dressings with that of a control group using conventional wound dressings in the healing of chronic ulcers. The primary outcomes measured were the number of ulcers not healed in either group, the amount of non-viable tissue, the rate of granulation tissue formation as percentage of ulcer surface area, and the length of time spent in hospital. Materials and Methods: A prospective, parallel group, comparative trial design was used in this study. Patients with chronic wounds were admitted to the general surgery department of the Government Medical College in Suryapet. After determining whether or not the participants were willing to receive topical hydrogel dressing, the entire sample population was separated into two equal and comparable groups of 120 patients. Those who refused to participate were exposed to traditional wound dressings, and this group served as the control group. They were then divided into two equal groups of 60 patients each, one for those with diabetes and one for those who did not, based on whether they had diabetes.
