Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the incidence and rate of wound healing in subjects with venous ulcers treated with an extracellular matrix composed of hyaluronic acid plus compression therapy as compared to standard care. The study also intends to follow the subjects for a 16-week period in order to evaluate ulcer recurrence within treatment groups.
