Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device called the SNaP device compared to a traditional NPWT device for the treatment of lower extremity diabetic and venous ulcer wounds.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, randomized, two-arm, non-inferiority, multi-center study comparing negative pressure therapy wound healing outcomes between the SNaP Wound Care System and traditional NPWT systems.
Interventions
Standard wound dressing applications followed by negative pressure system application per manufacturer recommendations.
Wound dressing applications using customized system. Dressing applications changes per manufacturer recommendation.
