Exclusion Criteria

• Life expectancy is less than 12 months.
• Anemia Hgb ≤ 10 g/dL and HCT ≤ 27%.
• Ulcers of other than diabetic foot pathophysiology.
• Participation in another clinical trial involving a device or a systematically administered investigational study drug or treatment within 30 days.

• Participation in another clinical trial involving a device or a systematically administered investigational study drug or treatment within 30 days of initiating the trial.
• The subject has severe lymphedema (Stage 3) where the individual cannot lift the extremity on their own secondary to the amount of edema and fluid weight.

• Received within 30 days before the study or scheduled to receive medications or treatments known to interfere with or affect the rate or quality of wound closure (e.g., systemic steroids, immunosuppressive therapy, autoimmune disease therapy within the past 12 months, dialysis, radiation therapy to the treatment area, vascular surgery, angioplasty, or thrombolysis.
• Received radiation therapy or chemotherapy within the previous 3 months.
• Subjects with known sensitivity to blood components such as those in the PRF kit.
• The subject has inadequate venous access for repeated blood draws required for the PRP preparation.
