The most relevant clinical information about Negatively-Charged Microspheres (NCM) is provided below.

Shoham Y, et al. Wound ‘dechronification’ with negatively-charged polystyrene microspheres: a double-blind RCT. J Wound Care. 2013 Mar; 22(3):144-55.

Double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT). Patients with hard-to-heal wounds, defined as refractory to treatment for at least 4 weeks, or those with wounds with exposure to bone, tendon, or ligaments, were eligible for inclusion and randomly assigned to the MCN or control group. Both groups were treated (MCN or control) for 4 weeks. Fifty-eight patients completed the study. The primary endpoint was defined as coverage of > 75% of the wound area by light red granulation tissue after 4 weeks of treatment.

After the randomized clinical trial, patients were supervised twice a week for an additional 8 weeks. During this time they were treated with standard therapy, at the discretion of the investigators, and were re-evaluated 2 years after inclusion in the trial.

Hard to heal diabetic foot ulcers
Lázaro – Martínez J.L, et al. Hard to heal diabetic foot ulcers treated using negatively charged polystyrene microspheres: a prospective case series. Journal of Wound Care. Vol 28. No 2. Feb 2019.

Prospective case series of patients with difficult-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers. Daily treatment with MCN was applied for four weeks, although the healthcare professional could decide to continue treatment with MCN in some patients. Cases were followed up to week 12. MCN treatment was completed in 17 ulcers (16 patients). The following parameters were measured: Wollina (granulation tissue, colour and tissue consistency), area and reduction (%) of wound area and complete closure.
