Arm Description

Taliderm™ dressing applied until the next scheduled dressing change (up to eight hours), then replaced by a gauze dressing. Gauze dressing changes will continue per standard of care until the scheduled follow-up visits (first or second visit). At the scheduled follow-up visits, the subject will have a Taliderm™ dressing applied and left in place until the next scheduled dressing change (up to eight hours), then will continue standard of care wet to dry gauze dressing changes until next scheduled follow-up visit.
