Active Comparator Transforming Powder Dressing |
Half of the subjects will be randomized to Transforming Powder Dressing to treat their diabetic foot ulcers. Wounds will be evaluated weekly, debrided if needed, photographed, and measured. A wound dressing will be applied using Transforming Powder Dressing and the wound will be offloaded when necessary (pressure taken off of the wound using a total contact cast or other device). Wound healing progress will be monitored and compared to other standard of care dressings used to treat diabetic foot ulcers.Surveys regarding pain and quality of life will be completed at each study visit. |

Active Comparator Standard of Care Dressing |
Half of the subjects will be randomized to receive standard of care wound dressings to treat their diabetic foot ulcers. Wounds will be evaluated weekly, debrided if needed, photographed, and measured. A wound dressing will be applied using standard of care wound products, and the wound will be offloaded when necessary (pressure taken off of the wound using a total contact cast or other device). Wound healing progress will be monitored and compared to transforming powder dressings used to treat diabetic foot ulcers. Surveys regarding pain and quality of life will be completed at each study visit. |

Detailed Description
Diabetic men and women aged 18-89 years, who have a diabetic foot ulcer present for a minimum of 30 days will be considered for the study. Subjects will be randomized to either standard of care wound dressings or transforming powder dressing. Half of the subjects will receive standard of care dressings, and the other half will receive transforming powder dressing in a 1:1 randomization process at each of the study sites. Subjects will present to the study center weekly for up to 12 weeks (less time if the wound heals prior to 12 weeks). The last study visit occurs 12 weeks after the End of Study visit.
