Due to the homogeneity of patients with a diabetic foot ulcer, the majority of studies regarding the efficacy of placental allografts have been in this population of patients, with a small fraction conducted with patients with VLUs. However, insufficient research has been performed regarding advanced modalities for the treatment of other, open hard-to-heal wounds resulting from alternative aetiologies, such as trauma or failed surgical procedures. The aim of this case series was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a placental allograft in the treatment of hard-to-heal VLUs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective case series encompassed patients with hard-to-heal open wounds on various parts of their body and who received weekly applications of a placental allograft (Neothelium FT, Surgenex, LLC., US).
