SUMMARY
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of two types of NPWT systems; the traditional negative pressure wound therapy (tNPWT) system and the single-use negative pressure wound therapy (PICO) system.

Healthy Volunteers: f
View:
• Provide informed consent
• Age ≥ 18 years and of either sex
• Willing to comply with protocol instructions, including allowing all study assessments
• Have a Venous Leg Ulcer (VLU) between the knee and ankle (at or above the malleolus), with a surface area ≥ 2.0 cm2 and ≤ 36.0 cm2
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) at 80mmHg (nominal) +/- 20 mmHg to the wound surface
Active_comparator: tNPWT System
Traditional NPWT (tNPWT) from -25 mmHg and up to -200 mmHg; intensity settings of either low, medium and high; delivery modes of continuous or intermittent. The pressure, intensity and delivery settings will be left to the Investigator's discretion at each study treatment visit.
