Summary

This study compares a portable vacuum dressing (PICO) to standard wound cleaning for foot wounds that are not infected. About 300 adults with surgical wound openings or diabetic foot ulcers will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps wounds close more often by 42 days without needing another surgery.
