The study is a prospective, clinical trial designed to evaluate the combination of BlastX™ and VAC® in facilitating healing and reduction in bio-burden in pressure ulcers. After consenting, the ulcers of eligible subjects are treated with BlastX. After a 5 minute dwell time the wound VAC® is applied as per manufacturers guidelines. The subjects return to the center three times per week for dressing changes and application of BlastX. The duration of the trial is four weeks. Subjects undergo study procedures (biopsy for quantitative tissue culture, photography, fluorescence imaging and swabbing for protease testing) on a weekly basis. The standard of care for pressure ulcers will be continued including debridement, off-loading, and nutritional supplementation when appropriate.
