About this trial

This study is intended to provide information from subjects who currently have painful, chronically open wounds and assess the pain reduction capacity of KeraStat® Gel with Morphine. In gathering data from subjects who have baseline pain from their chronically open wounds, the investigators can then evaluate the capacity of KeraStat® Gel plus Morphine in reducing the subjects daily pain levels, pain associated with dressing changes, and pain medication consumption.
