   3. Index ulcer area after debridement is ≥ 2 cm² and ≤ 25 cm² at the randomization visit
   4. Ulcer must be Stage II or III as determined by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) pressure ulcer staging system

2. Subject criteria must include:

   2. Signs and symptoms of local infection
   3. Previous surgical procedure performed at site
   4. Known or suspected local skin malignancy at index ulcer site
   5. Prior radiation therapy treatment at the index ulcer site

2. Subject criteria that will make subject ineligible for enrollment:

   2. Currently taking medications which in the opinion of the investigator may affect graft incorporation
   3. Allergy or known sensitivity to Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin sulfate and/or streptomycin sulfate
   4. Any condition(s) that in the opinion of the investigator may seriously compromises the subject's ability to participate in this study. Examples include: known history of poor adherence with medical treatment, current drug or alcohol abuse or a medical/psychiatric condition
