- Time to wound being deemed healed or 6 months [6 months]

Secondary Outcome Measures
- Wound quality of life [6 months]
The Wound-QoL-14 questionnaire on quality of life with chronic wounds will be used to assess changes in score prior to initial application of xenograft or xenograft/PRP to time of wound healing or 6 months, whichever comes first.
