This study will demonstrate the safety of the application of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel following excision and autologous skin grafting of acute deep 2nd and 3rd degree burns. The study will be a randomized, double-blinded controlled safety study. Investigators expect that the PRP will deliver improved hemostasis and growth factors at the wound site thus increasing the effectiveness of treatment at the wound site. This will lead to rapid production and delivery of an autologous therapy that should minimize additional morbidity to the patient.

Investigators should take into consideration the following parameters: medical history and physical appearance, the subject's body mass index, and any significant laboratory findings) - Severe respiratory problems or concurrent head trauma at hospital admission, including inhalation injury requiring ventilatory support - Any chronic condition requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids 30 days prior to study entry and anytime during the course of the study - Any other acute or chronic concurrent medical condition(s) that in the investigator's opinion are a contraindication to skin grafting and study participation or limit the participant's life expectancy to < 6 months - Known or suspected hypersensitivity to bovine protein - Concurrent participation in another clinical trial in which an investigational agent is used. (Subjects must not have been enrolled in another clinical trial within 30 days of enrolling in this trial) - Females who are pregnant or nursing or intend to become pregnant during the duration of the study - Burn wounds that occur over joints - Patients with the following abnormal laboratory test levels: - Stage 4 or greater chronic kidney disease (eGFR < 30 mL/min) - Hemoglobin < 10 g/dL - Thrombocytopenia < 100,000 platelets/µL - Serum albumin level <2.5 g/dL or > 30 g/dL at time of screening |
