- Participation in the treatment group of an interventional study within preceding 90 days prior to enrollment
- Full-thickness burns will be excluded as treatment sites
- Chronic wounds will be excluded as treatment sites
- The face, head, neck, hands, feet, buttocks, and areas over joints will be excluded as treatment sites

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
StrataGraft skin tissue
All subjects enrolled in this study will receive StrataGraft tissue. Will randomly assign treatment regimens to the two comparable study treatment sites pre-identified as A or B. A sealed randomization envelope will be supplied to the clinical site along with the shipment of clinical tissue. Neither the surgeon nor scrubbed operating room personnel will be informed of the randomization until completion of surgical excision. The treatment sites A or B will be randomized to receive either StrataGraft skin tissue or autograft using a 1:1 ratio. Two comparable areas of healthy skin will be pre-identified by the clinical staff as donor sites A or B. The randomization assignment will be identical as that above for the treatment sites. For example, if treatment site A is randomized to receive an autograft, donor site A will be designated the donor site for autografting
