Purpose

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®)

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
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)
  • Device: Synthetic Hybrid-Scale Fiber Matrix
    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.
    Other names:
    • Restrata
Active Comparator
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)
  • Device: Standard of Care
    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.
