Title: A Prospective, Open, Non-controlled Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Performance and Safety of an Antimicrobial Foam Transferring Dressing in Patients With Malignant Wounds

This is a prospective, open, non-controlled clinical investigation to evaluate the performance and safety of using Mepilex Transfer Ag on a malignant wound. Approximately ten to fifteen (10-15) subjects from one to three centers in Europe, presenting with a malignant (fungating) wound will be enrolled into the study. Eligible subjects will have one malignant (fungating) wound selected as a "study site". Subjects will be followed for a one-week observation period with their existing product followed by a 4-week investigation period using Mepilex Transfer Ag.
