This clinical trial runs from Q3 2022 - Q2 2023. Twenty-two patients with chronic wounds will be included (n = 22) for a study-period of four weeks. Week 1 includes one baseline visit. Through Week 2,3 and 4 treatment is given six times with a span of 24-72 hours between every treatment visit. Week 4 includes one follow up-visit. Patients entering the study are assigned to three light dosage groups (low, medium and high) according to their study ID. ID 1-7 are assigned to the low group, ID 8-15 are assigned to medium group and ID 16-22 are assigned to the high dosage group. Between each dosage of light, there will be an evaluation of primary and secondary endpoints by the sponsor and the principal investigator. Light dosage is only escalated should this evaluation be deemed safe. To determine treatment safety skin reactions are assessed after treatment at: 0 minutes, 30 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours, 5th treatment visit and at follow-up. Adverse Events and Adverse Device Events are evaluated at every visit for every dosage, feasibility is evaluated at follow-up for both patient and investigator.
