Overview
Brief Summary
Diabetic foot ulcers are a challenge to health care professionals because there are only few effective topical therapeutic interventions.
Growth factor treatment has shown to be beneficial for healing of diabetic foot ulcers in conjunction with extensive surgical debridement. Autologues platelet releasate which contains platelet derived growth factor appears to be more effective than standard therapy in case studies.
This protocol will evaluate the healing effect of Vivostat PRF treatment of non-eschemic foot ulcers to identify responders and to enable sample size calculation for a subsequent pivotal trial.

Inclusion Criteria
- •At least 4 weeks history (with wound area measurements) within a wound care institution before the first visit (week -3). In case of referral the patient history must be documented
- •All patients must complete a 3 week screening period i.e. they will be interviewed and accessed at the first meeting. During the 3 week period patient compliance will be monitored.

- •Ulcer at or below the ankle which has been present for at least 4 weeks, and has received best practice care
- •Ulcer area between 0,5 and 16 cm2
- •If there is more than one ulcer or bilateral ulcers, the investigator shall choose the one index ulcer to be treated (typically the largest one). The other ulcers will receive standard care and is not included in the study
- •Ulcer type: University of Texas grade IA.
- •Evidence of adequate arterial perfusion: Toe pressure reading of ≥ 30 mmHg or if toe is missing, transcutaneous oxygen (TcPO2) of ≥ 30mmHg on the foot.
- •Patient foot is appropriately off loaded (contact cast, pneumatic walking cast)
Exclusion Criteria
- •Clear indication for surgery (vascular reconstruction or skin transplant)
- •Ulcer with exposed bone or tendon
- •Bone involvement (probe to bone or x-ray)
- •Patients with 3 ulcers or more at the foot investigated
- •Osteomyelitis
- •Clinical signs of infections
- •Necrosis in the wound (one week into the screening period).
- •Patients with known MRSA
- •Malnutrition. Albumin \< 2,5g/dl
- •Ulcers resulting from electrical, chemical, radiation burns
