Brief Summary

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

In participants with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), this study will assess complete wound closure by comparing synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®) with standard of care.

In participants with venous leg ulcers (VLUs), this study will assess complete wound closure by comparing synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix (Restrata®) with living cellular skin substitute (Apligraf®)

Study Groups

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Participants Assigned to Synthetic Hybrid-Scale Fiber Matrix (Restrata®)

Biweekly (every 2 weeks) application for either 12 weeks or until 100 percent epithelialization / wound closure (whichever occurs first)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Synthetic Hybrid-Scale Fiber Matrix

Intervention Type DEVICE

A synthetic absorbable skin substitute indicated for use in the local management of wounds. It is made of small synthetic fibers that are designed to be similar to the structure of human skin.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Participants Assigned to Standard of Care

Weekly application for either 12 weeks or until 100 percent epithelialization / wound closure (whichever occurs first)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard of Care

Intervention Type DEVICE

To ensure off-loading, each patient will be fitted with an off-loading device based on the investigator's decision, e.g. a boot for forefoot and a heel protector for hindfoot. Patients is instructed on how to care for the surgical site, utilize an off-loading device, and keep the surgical site moist and clean. If the wound is dry, a hydrogel category dressing type should be used. If the wound has exudate, an alginate or foam dressing is recommended.

Venous Leg Ulcer Participants Assigned to Synthetic Hybrid-Scale Fiber Matrix (Restrata®)

Biweekly (every 2 weeks) application for either 16 weeks or until 100 percent epithelialization / wound closure (whichever occurs first)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Synthetic Hybrid-Scale Fiber Matrix

Intervention Type DEVICE

Venous Leg Ulcer Participants Assigned to Living Cellular Skin Substitute (Apligraf®)

Biweekly (every 2 weeks) application for either 16 weeks or until 100 percent epithelialization / wound closure (whichever occurs first)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Living Cellular Skin Substitute

Intervention Type DEVICE

An absorbable skin substitute comprised of human and bovine (cow) tissues indicated for use in the local management of wounds.
