The purpose of this research is to evaluate the ability of a Nitric Oxide (NO) Sensor to collect NO measurement data from an open wound. Previous research suggests that NO levels may indicate the stage of healing the wound is in. This study is being done to determine if the NO Sensor can measure how much NO is in a participant's wound. The researcher will place the NO Sensor into a participant's wound to collect NO measurements for 30-60 minutes. The participant will then have 2 follow-up appointments to see how the wound heals over time.
