To assess the efficacy of the PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix and compare its performance with usual and customary practice for the treatment of chronic non-healing pressure ulcers (PU).
This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, multi-center study for subjects undergoing PU treatment. Qualified subjects will be randomized (1:1); test group (PRP Concepts Fibrin Bio-Matrix) and control group (usual and customary practice). The study will consist of 3 periods: a screening period, an active treatment period, and a follow-up period (if healed). Approximately 250 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be ≥18 years of age with a PU (greater than 4 weeks duration). Each subject will be enrolled in the active treatment period for up to 12 weeks, or to closure of wound with a confirmatory visit 2 weeks after wound closure, whether such closure occurs at 12 weeks or earlier.

RECRUITINGPercent of wounds that have healed at 12 weeks
To assess the efficacy and safety of an autologous PRP membrane matrix treatment by measurement and observation of time to and percent of complete wound closure, wound healing trajectory, and wound recurrence over time as compared to the standard of care non-healing wound treatment.
Time frame: 12 weeks
To assess by a validated interview-scoring tool, the changes in quality of life and ability to return to previous function/resumption of normal activities.
