Filter by:The study will explore the potential of utilizing Glyaderm® in a single-stage engrafting process, aiming for a more cost-effective approach. While the absence of the reticular dermal layer is a challenge associated with autologous split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), often leading to hypertrophic scars and contractures, various dermal substitutes with inconsistent results exist. Bilayered skin reconstruction using glycerolized acellular dermis (Glyaderm®) has shown promise in improving scar quality through a two-step procedure. However, unlike the typical two-step process required for most dermal substitutes, our investigation focuses on the cost-effective application of Glyaderm® in a single-stage engrafting. This approach, if successful, could offer advantages such as reduced costs, shorter hospitalization times, and lower infection rates-attributes preferred by many surgeons, especially when autografts are available.
Frozen Human Cadaver Allograft (FHCA) is, nowadays, the gold standard for temporary coverage of excised full-thickness burns, but is also very expensive and requires additional personnel and major storage spaces in comparison to other products. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which PermeaDerm® dressing promotes wound bed maturation when used as a temporary dressing for excised full-thickness burn wounds. Efficacy and safety in promoting wound bed maturation for successive autografting will be determined through direct comparison to FHCA.
The purpose of this research study is to test how well the investigational treatment, Engineered Skin Substitutes (ESS-W), works for covering and treating burn wounds. The areas of the body that are treated with ESS-W will be compared to similar areas treated with the patient's own skin (split-thickness skin autograft (AG)). A skin autograft (AG) will be performed by taking healthy skin from one area of the body and placing it on the burned area.
