Banana Leaves as a Wound Dressing for Partial Thickness Second Degree Burns in Adult Patients.

This study plans to look at the benefits of banana leaves as a primary burn wound dressing. Study patients will be compared to historical patients

Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate Clinical Outcomes and Associated Costs When PermeaDerm is Used as Temporary Dressing for Surgical Wounds

The goal of this study is to compare the cost and clinical outcomes for two temporary dressings (Allograft and PermeaDerm) used in patients that need a skin graft to heal their wound. The researchers will review cost and other treatment results including how well both temporary dressings attach to the skin, how prepared the wound bed is to receive a skin graft, how long it takes for the skin to be ready to receive a skin graft, how well the skin graft takes and any complications. Patients will first have the temporary dressing applied to their wound, then a few days later, a skin graft will be performed. Patients will have photos of their wounds taken throughout the study including at all the clinic check-ups with the last check-up occurring about 8 weeks after treatment.

Performance and Safety of Exufiber Ag+ and Exufiber on Partial Thickness Burns

This a multi-center, open label, non-comparative, study that will evaluate the clinical safety and performance of Exufiber Ag+ and Exufiber dressings, separately, when used as intended in moderate to high exuding partial thickness burns (PTBs) through assessment of wound progression from baseline to the Subject's last clinical follow-up visit. Sixty-eight (68) eligible subjects, with moderate to high exuding partial-thickness burns, will be selected for treatment with either Exufiber Ag+ silver-coated gelling dressing, or Exufiber gelling dressing. The study will last 5 weeks, with a requirement of 5 study visits in total, including dressing changes at each study visit.
