Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Index ulcer characteristics:
- Index ulcer area after debridement is ≥ 2 cm² and ≤ 25 cm² at the randomization visit
- Ulcer must be Stage II or III as determined by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) pressure ulcer staging system
Subject criteria must include:
- Age 18 or older
- The subject or their legally authorized representative provides consent and is willing and able to participate in all procedures and follow-up evaluations necessary to complete the study
Exclusion Criteria:
Index ulcer characteristics that will make subject ineligible for enrollment:
- Stage I or IV ulcers as determined by NPUAP pressure ulcer staging system
- Signs and symptoms of local infection
- Previous surgical procedure performed at site
- Known or suspected local skin malignancy at index ulcer site
- Prior radiation therapy treatment at the index ulcer site
Subject criteria that will make subject ineligible for enrollment:
- Presence of other diseases which, in the Opinion of the Investigator, may result in allograft failure or has experienced graft failure in the past (examples include: immune system disorders including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Fibromyalgia, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or HIV)
- Currently taking medications which in the opinion of the investigator may affect graft incorporation
- Allergy or known sensitivity to Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin sulfate and/or streptomycin sulfate
- Any condition(s) that in the opinion of the investigator may seriously compromises the subject's ability to participate in this study. Examples include: known history of poor adherence with medical treatment, current drug or alcohol abuse or a medical/psychiatric condition
- Pregnancy at enrollment or within last 6 months, women who are breastfeeding, or women of childbearing potential who are planning to become pregnant during the time of the study OR are unwilling/unable to use acceptable methods of contraception (birth control pills, barriers, or abstinence)
- Subjects currently enrolled in this study (i.e. concurrent enrollment in the study is prohibited)
- Subject has used any investigational drug(s) or therapeutic device(s) within 30 days preceding screening.
- Any pathology that would limit the blood supply and compromise healing
- Subject is a prisoner
