About this trial
Chronic non-healing wounds are becoming an increasingly more common problem. Eligible, consenting patients with chronic wounds in the lower extremities, upper extremities or trunk, will either continue to the standard of care or will be randomized to the treatment cohort where antibiotic solution will be injected in the area around the wound. All patients will continue standard wound care as dictated by the wound care clinic. Subjects of both the control and treatment will have approximately 6 study specific visits that may or may not coincide with previously schedule wound care clinic visits. As these specified visits wound size and healing will be documented and patients will complete surveys. The study will conclude for the subject after approximately 6 months. Again, these patients may continue standard wound care but will no longer have study obligations.
