Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to document the effectiveness of a honey-based medical device (Hyalumel) in the management of pressure ulcers. The effectiveness of the medical device will be judged according to the evolution of the surface of the wound at the end of 12 weeks of treatment.

Study Arms (2)
MELECTIS G
EXPERIMENTALIn addition to usual care as described for the other arm, patients randomized to this arm will have MELECTIS G added to their wound dressing according to the manufacturer's instructions. Intervention: Usual care Intervention: MELECTIS G
Usual care
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients randomized to this are will receive usual care according the current procedures at the Nîmes University Hospital (ICMD010 concerning pressure sore care and SCMD002 concerning referenced anti-pressure sore dressings). Intervention: Usual care
Interventions
The experimental medical device (MELECTIS G) is an association of selected honey and pharmaceutical grade hyaluronic acid.
Patients will receive usual care according to the current procedures at the Nîmes University Hospital (ICMD010 concerning pressure sore care and SCMD002 concerning referenced anti-pressure sore dressings).
