Autologous Regeneration of Tissue (ART) for Wound Healing

The purpose of this research study is to learn about a new device, Autologous Regeneration of Tissue (ART), for collecting skin grafts from participant's own skin.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults from 18 to 90 years of age.
• Patients that have a chronic wound in any area of the body defined as having been present for at least 30 days of duration.

• Prisoners.
• Subjects requiring concurrent systemic antimicrobials during the study period for any infection.
