The main purpose of this research study is to compare the proportion of wound closure in subjects that receive E-GRAFT™ with SOC versus FIBRACOL™ with SOC. Other research purposes include the following: * Rate of wound closure * Change in ulcer size over 12 weeks * Any adverse events or reactions (side effects) * Change in pain levels * Occurrence of infection
The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to collect patient outcome data on a commercially available E-GRAFT™ that is a dehydrated thick amniotic allograft processed and approved for use as a Human Cellular and Tissue- Based Product (HCT/P) under FDA 21 CFR 1271 and Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. In this trial, two groups of Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) will receive standard of care (SOC) treatment for their condition. Half of the patients will receive a 510K FDA cleared Collagen alginate dressing FIBRACOL™ and the other half will have E-GRAFT™ dehydrated tissue allograft as the primary dressing. The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients that go on to complete closure of the target ulcer between the two groups: SOC with FIBRACOL™ or SOC with E-GRAFT™. Secondary endpoints include the proportion of subjects achieving complete wound closure of the target ulcer by the end of 12 weeks.

RECRUITINGComparison of the proportion of index ulcers "healed" at 12 weeks
Investigator assessment of healing (100% epithelization w/no drainage), measurements of ulcer size using manual measurements

Time to healing will be taken as the time of first assessment (i.e. before confirmation within two weeks) of complete healing.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Percentage Area Reduction over 12 week period
Digital imaging
