This study is evaluating whether a therapeutic ultrasound device can improve blood flow to the leg with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
The VibratoSleeve TUS will be used on to assess its acute vasodilatory and perfusion effects in diabetic subjects with PAD and DFU. Each subject will receive one 90-minute TUS treatment in each of 3 treatment sessions. All post-treatment acute assessments will take place immediately following each day's treatment and no follow-up assessments will be required in this study.
