The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the RedDress Wound Care System (RD1) in patients Texas 1a or 2a Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
The investigational product, the RD1 kit, was designed to enable a care provider to create an in vitro blood clot from the patient's own blood at the point of care, in a safe and effective manner. While many advanced modalities of treatment have been developed to heal chronic DFUs (as well as other types of chronic wounds), the vast majority have been approved for relatively non-severe wounds (e.g., Texas 1a/2a grades) and relatively healthy subjects in controlled clinical trials and typically exclude 25-75% of subjects who have several comorbidities and severe wounds. Moreover, when the results of such trials (and other trials of advanced modalities) have been subject to a systematic review, the strength of the evidence for their efficacy has been rated low or even insufficient to judge. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new technologies to be tested that can improve healing rates in all classes of chronic DFUs. The study is a multi-center, prospective, single group safety study, consisting of 20 subjects who will complete the study (note: if any patients are lost to follow-up or withdrawn, enrollment will increase to compensate for loss of these subjects). The subjects will receive 12 weekly RD1 applications. Subject data will be kept in each site's records.

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
Adverse event rate will be calculated including serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse events (AEs) (including any lack of venous access events), and device-related adverse events (DRAEs) (safety population and ITT populations).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Number of Participants Experience Complications Due to Lack of Venous Access
For all patients for all 12 visits involving RD1 procedure (ITT population)
Time frame: 12 weeks
Number of Participants Achieving a Complete Wound Closure at 12 Weeks
Defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at 2 consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart) for DFU treated with RD1 (ITT population).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Percent of Reduction in Wound Size Over 12 Weeks (ITT Population)
The data will also be plotted graphically week by week. Week 12 data will be used to recalculate sample size for the pivotal trial
Time frame: 12 weeks
