The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of non-contact low frequency ultrasound in populations sustaining fingertip amputations. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does non-contact low frequency ultrasound significantly improve patient outcomes in patients sustaining acute fingertip amputations? Researchers will compare non-contact low frequency ultrasound to a standard Lalonde protocol to answer this questions. Participants will be randomized one of the two study arms and evaluated by wound care therapy. They will receive cohort appropriate therapy sessions 2-3 times per week with measurement of wound size once per week.
