About this trial
The purpose of this clinical study is to obtain post-market safety and efficacy data when the V.A.C.® Peel and Place dressing is used in conjunction with 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy.

Subject or legally authorized representative (LAR) is able to provide informed consent.
an open wound: traumatic wound, dehisced surgical wound within 30 days of surgery, burn, venous ulcer, diabetic ulcer, or pressure ulcer Note: Prior to initial placement, the wound may be debrided, as clinically indicated
a closed or covered wound secured with sutures or staples: closed surgical incision, skin flap closure, or skin graft (recipient site)

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of (ADEs)
The incidence of adverse device effects (ADEs)
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of closed surgical incisions and skin flaps that remain closed
The percentage of closed surgical incisions and skin flaps that remain closed throughout treatment
Percentage of skin grafts with ≥ 90% graft take
The percentage of skin grafts with ≥ 90% graft take at the end of treatment
Percentage of open wounds with evidence of healing
The percentage of open wounds with evidence of healing, as evidenced by any of the following: * decrease in total wound area (cm2) from baseline to the end of treatment, * decrease in total wound volume (cm3) from baseline to the end of treatment, * decrease in average wound depth from baseline to the end of treatment, * increase in the percentage of the wound with red color composition (signifying healthy, viable tissue), from baseline to the end of treatment, * improved score for exudate amount from the first dressing change to the end of treatment * improved score for peripheral tissue edema from baseline to the end of treatment * new epithelialization from baseline to the end of treatment, or * wound is deemed ready for closure (via delayed primary closure, graft, flap or allowed to epithelialize) at any time from baseline to the end of treatment
Overall rate of wound healing for both open wounds and closed/covered wounds
The overall rate of wound healing for both open wounds and closed/covered wounds, as evidenced by the aforementioned criteria
Other outcomes
Pain score associated with dressing removal
The pain score associated with dressing removal (ie, during dressing changes and at final dressing removal) - Subject-reported and based on the highest level of perceived pain. Whereby a score of 0 is indicative of "no pain" and a score of 10 indicates the "worst pain possible".
