- Electrical burns
- Heavily draining burns due to underlying chronic lymphedema or other conditions
- Concurrent clinical condition within the judgement of the clinician, pose a health risk to the patient, delay wound healing, or otherwise influence the outcome of the study.
History of poor wound healing and/or skin/immune system condition

Transforming Powder Dressing
Standard of Care Dressing
Half of the subjects will be randomized to Transforming Powder Dressing (TPD) to treat the burn wound(s). Subjects will be evaluated on Treatment Day 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 (or sooner if the wound heals prior to end of study visit on Day 28). On each study visit, wound care will be performed. TPD will be applied directly on the burn wound, followed by another dressing (often called a secondary dressing).
Half of the subjects will be randomized to Standard of Care (SOC) to treat the burn wound(s). Subjects will be evaluated on Treatment Day 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 (or sooner if the wound heals prior to end of study visit on Day 28). On each study visit, wound care will be performed. The standard of care burn dressing will be applied directly on the burn wound, followed by another dressing (often called a secondary dressing).
