Evaluating Clinical Acceptance of a NPWT Wound Care System to Expected Standards of Care in Post-acute Patients With a Variety of Wound Types

Determine if use of the Medela Invia Motion NPWT system supports acceptable progress towards
the goal of therapy when treating patients with a variety of wound types during the
evaluation period.

The primary objective of this study is to determine acceptable progress towards the goal of
therapy for a diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and pressure Injuries/ulcers (PI/PU) wounds when
using the Medela Invia Motion Endure NPWT system during 4-week study duration.

Goal of therapy will be defined by the physician according to initial assessment:

Endpoints (dependent on goal of therapy):

- Decrease in wound volume

- Decrease in size of the tunneling area

- Decrease in size of undermining

- Decrease in amount of slough

- Increase in granulation tissue

- The wound bed is progressing acceptably towards a transition to another treatment
modality such as Moist Wound Healing (MWH), surgical closure, or a flap or graft.

**Study endpoint will be determined by physician at the time of enrollment, when the goal of
therapy is documented**

B. Secondary Objectives

- To evaluate the ease of use from clinicians.

- To evaluate overall satisfaction from clinicians. C. Tertiary Objectives

- Adequate management of the exudate

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult subjects ≥18 years of age.

- Signed, informed consent by patient or LAR within 72 hours of admission to burn
center.

- Patient is determined to be in need of NPWT for treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer,
pressure injuries/pressure ulcer.

- Patient is comfortable (e.g. not in pain)

- Patient is willing and able to adhere to treatment protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient not willing to comply with f/u clinic visits.

- Subjects with

- Necrotic tissue with eschar present

- Untreated osteomyelitis

- Non-enteric and unexplored fistulas

- Malignancy in wound

- Exposed vasculature

- Exposed nerves

- Exposed anastomotic site of blood vessels or bypasses

- Exposed organs

- Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, may be non-compliant with study
