NCT00137163

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare one type of dressing against the current standard dressing that is used to cover the unburned area of the skin where a piece of skin is removed to cover another part of the body that was burned. Hypothesis: The mean healing time for wounds treated with the Dermafill dressing will be less than the mean healing time for wounds treated with Xeroform dressing.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Pain will be less or equal to with the Dermafill dressing as compared with Xeroform

  • Cosmetic effect of healing at post surgery day 30-60 will be equal or less with Dermafill as compared with Xeroform

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Infections associated with donor sites will be equal to or less with Dermafill as compared with Xeroform

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • years or older; male or female.
  • Burn wounds less than 30% of total body surface area (TBSA) with no systemic abnormalities
  • Burns do not involve the harvesting area
  • Burn wounds require excision and grafting of sufficient extent to justify two donor sites of equal and symmetrical size on non-dependent body surface areas
  • Scheduled excision and grafting procedure is the first such operation for subject during this hospitalization
  • Subject agrees to participate in follow-up evaluations

You may not qualify if:

  • Critical illnesses requiring ventilator support, systemic infection or hemodynamic instability
  • Major acute or chronic illnesses affecting wound healing (e.g. peripheral vascular disease, insulin dependent diabetes, blood clotting disorder)
  • Subject receiving medications that inhibit/compromise wound healing (e.g. anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, oral steroids). The use of anticoagulants does not include deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis.
  • Cellulitis or other infection of potential donor site
  • Previously harvested donor site
  • Subjects with greater than 30% TBSA burns
  • Pregnancy
