Study of Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System

Postmarket Clinical Follow-Up Study of Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System in Patients With Acute Wounds

The main questions the study aims to answer are:

• How much do wounds improve when using the Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System for a maximum of 14 days?
