Patient foot is appropriately off loaded (contact cast, pneumatic walking cast) 9. Orthopaedic assessment has been completed to rule out a mechanical source of ulcera-tion 10. Relative wound area reduction less than 50% from week –3 to week 0 (pre-screening period) 11. Signed informed consent Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the healing effect of Vivostat® PRF® treatment of diabetic non-ischemic foot ulcers, to identify responders and to enable sample size calculation for a subsequent pivotal trial. Primary effect parameter: Proportion of completely healed ulcers after 12 weeks (defined as 100 % epithelialisation);Secondary Objective: Secondary effect parameters: - Time to complete healing - Percentage of patients with a 50% reduction of wound area after 4 weeks and 8 weeks - Granulation rate (the area covered with new granulation tissue) - Number of infections - The extend of maceration - Treatment time - Time used for kit preparation and blood donation at each treatment - Time used for application of PRF at each treatment ;Primary end point(s): Proportion of completely healed ulcers after 12 weeks (defined as 100 % epithelialisation)
