SOC and Advanced Bioengineered Skin Substitute
The SOC therapy in this study is offloading of the DFU (CAM boots or total contact casting \[TCC\] if the subject's foot is too large for a CAM boot), appropriate sharp or surgical debridement, infection management (systemic antibiotics only in conjunction with debridement) and wound care covering with Helicoll® applied weekly or as needed followed by a padded 3-layer dressing comprised of first layer - non-adherent and porous, second layer - absorbent 4x4 gauze pads \& third layer - soft roll and compressive wrap (Dynaflex™ or equivalent). SOC and Advanced Bioengineered Skin Substitute: SOC primary dressing with Helicoll®
