Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Ability and willingness to comply with the following: study drug gel application and dressing changes as instructed; use offloading footwear and practice of rubbing prevention (shear injury) of the study ulcer for the duration of the study; adherence to study requirements or use of adequate caregiver assistance
