Interventions
The treatment procedures (after a 1 week run-in) include: * Cleansing the wound bed, at dressing change, with Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution or saline solution; a sterile gauze dressing impregnated with the Prontosan® or saline solution, depending on randomisation, will be placed on the wound in the form of a moist compress and removed after 15 minutes; the wound will be sparingly covered with Prontosan® Wound Gel or inactive gel, depending on randomisation * Secondary dressing to be a semi occlusive dressing * Secure the dressing to the wound with tubifast and short stretch compression system Dressings will be changed and the treatment procedure will be repeated every 3 days (+/- 1 day) when clinical, microbiological, planimetry and photographic assessments will be made. The randomised solution will also be used for removal of the dressing from the wound at the start of dressing change.
