New Treatment for Donor Sites (Donors)

This study has been withdrawn prior to enrollment.
(Donor site material (scarlet red ) came back on the market, therefore new treatements for donor sites was not needed.)

  Purpose

Primary research questions/Purpose of the Research.

  1. Determine the short term (epidermal regeneration, reduction of pain, infections and length of stay) and long term (scarring, long term recovery, and cost of treatment) outcomes of Microbial Nanocellulose (NC) and fine mesh gauze impregnated with hyaluronan and thrombin (HT).

  2. Determine if donor site treatment with NC and HT is as safe as the use of Scarlet Red ointment dressing.

    b. Describe the importance of the knowledge that you expect to gain from the research.

    To find a donor site dressing that has outcomes equal or better than that of scarlet red.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • epidermal regeneration (donor site healing) [ Time Frame: Days 3-14 post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Infection [ Time Frame: Days 0-21 post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • reduction in pain of donor site [ Time Frame: Day 0-21 post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Scarring [ Time Frame: Day 7 post surgery to 2 years post surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Costs [ Time Frame: Admission post burn injury to 2 years post burn injury ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Microbial Nanocellulose (NC), an inert material produced by Acetobacter xylinum is one of three drug interventions the patient will be randomized to receive. One of the three drugs will be placed on a patient donor site immediately after harvesting skin while the patient is in surgery.
 Drug: Application of donor site dressing [scarlet red, Microbial Nanocellulose (NC), or hyaluronan and thrombin (HT)]
Application of donor site dressing: scarlet red, Microbial Nanocellulose (NC), or hyaluronan and thrombin (HT).
Procedure: Blood sample
Obtain blood specimen at surgery donor site harvest, 14 days post surgery and 6 months post surgery
Procedure: Biopsy
Tissue biopsy of donor site treated area at admission, wound healing and 2-6 months post burn.
Experimental: 2
fine mesh gauze impregnated with hyaluronan and thrombin (HT) is one of three drug interventions the patient will be randomized to receive. One of the three drugs will be placed on a patient donor site immediately after harvesting skin while the patient is in surgery.
 Drug: Application of donor site dressing [scarlet red, Microbial Nanocellulose (NC), or hyaluronan and thrombin (HT)]
Application of donor site dressing: scarlet red, Microbial Nanocellulose (NC), or hyaluronan and thrombin (HT).
Procedure: Blood sample
