This is an interventional treatment trial for Donor Sites

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Is ≥18 years of age.
  • Has been admitted to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital Augusta or The Advanced Wound Clinic, needing a split-thickness skin graft and will undergo a subsequent donor site harvest.
  • Subject is able to provide informed consent.
  • Has a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening (if female and has potential for pregnancy) if available or if stated by patient.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has a Baux Score of ≥130.
  • Subject is intubated, unable to state pain levels.
  • Has active diagnosis of any autoimmune process, cancer, or organ failure that in the opinion of the investigator would prevent the subject from successfully participating in the study,
  • Has coagulopathy that in the opinion of the investigator, would place subject at an increased risk for bleeding.
  • Vulnerable subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, present with poor skin integrity (i.e. Elderly), is a prisoner, non-English speaking, or is without means of follow-up or return to clinic (i.e. homeless).
  • Is pregnant, plans to become pregnant, or is actively breastfeeding.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a three arm study, comparing the Novadress, Mepilex Ag, and Xeroform Occlusive dressings for healing, drainage, and pain management. NovaDress is constructed of pure cellulose derived from tree pulp. Mepilex Ag is a antimicrobial foam dressing that absorbs low to moderate exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. Xeroform Occlusive Dressing is a fine-mesh gauze impregnated with a petrolatum blend, 3% bismuth tribromophenate.
