About this trial

The primary purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Microlyte® DualGuard wound dressing in the healing of partial thickness donor site wounds, also known as skin graft donor sites. This research will assess wound healing, the occurrence of infection, allergic reaction, pain, and itching while subjects are in the hospital and after discharge. Subjects will complete clinic visits through 12 weeks. This research will also assess the occurrence of donor site wound infection, pain and itching, and scarring at 12 weeks, assessed by subjects using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Microlyte DualGuard

    Device

    Microlyte® DualGuard wound dressing: It is a sterile, single use synthetic polyvinyl alcohol absorbent sheet with ionic gallium, and with a polymeric surface coating containing ionic and metallic silver. It has very low amounts of silver and gallium with maximum of 0.16 mg/sq. in. and 1 mg/sq. in., respectively. Microlyte® DualGuard wound dressing absorbs wound fluid and forms a soft gel that conforms to the wound surface and maintains a moist environment. The dressing contains silver and gallium only to prevent or minimize microbial growth within the dressing.

  • Allevyn Foam (Standard of Care Control)

    Device

    Allevyn® is indicated for as wound management by secondary intention on shallow, granulating wounds, chronic and acute exuding wounds, full- and partial-thickness wounds including: leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, first- and second-degree burns, skin graft donor site, skin tears, and pressure injuries.

Treatment groups

53 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Treatment Arm - Proximal or Distal DSW locationExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Standard of Care Arm - opposite side of DSW from treatment armActive comparator 1 intervention
