d. Ulcer size: 0.7 cm^2 to 25 cm^2
8. Circulation status:
a. Minimal disease with palpable pulses or ABI >0.7
b. Previously revascularized at least 4 weeks prior to enrolment by bypass or endovascular therapy
c. Compromised circulation with ABI 0.4-0.7 in patient not deemed to be a candidate for revascularization because of prohibitive anatomic or physiologic consideration
