Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* The wound must have at least 2 cm of intact epithelium surrounding it.
* A wound such as a pressure ulcer or chronic ulcer on a location other than the lower extremity may also be included in the study if it meets the size requirements and a reliable seal can be achieved.
* Ulcer must not have healed for \>14 days under standard treatment.
* Chronic wound with prior graft placement will be allowed in the study.
* Patient is \>18 years old.
* Willing and able to sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

* 3+ or greater pitting edema of lower extremity
* History of malignancy at wound site. However, wounds that are closing by secondary intent after surgical clearance of prior tumor will be allowed in the study.
* Thick eschar at wound base after debridement.
* Wound location is not amenable to forming an airtight seal and placement of device.
* Ulcers due to inflammatory conditions such as pyoderma gangrenosum, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, cryoglobulinemia, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, lupus or pancreatic panniculitis, cryofibrinogenemia, calcinosis cutis, scleroderma, Raynaud's syndrome.
* Current smoker (must have quit for \>3 weeks)
* Wound with exposed bone, blood vessels, tendon
* Significant immunosuppression (as determined by the investigator and sponsor) such as high dose prednisone
* Fasting blood sugar \>200 by study personnel administered bedside fingerstick blood glucose
* Ankle brachial index less than lower limit of normal (\<0.60) as performed and determined by licensed physician (necessary only for patients with lower extremity wounds).
* Pregnancy
* Incapable of giving informed consent
* Inability to comply with study procedures including lack of telephone access for week 8 telephone survey
