Evaluation of Preferences of Consumers and Clinicians for the Management of Shave Biopsy Sites With a PolyMem Formulation Dressing or Current Standard of Care.
Status unconfirmed · Phase 4

In brief
Shave biopsies are often uncomfortable during the healing process. This is a preliminary study to determine if patients and clinicians prefer using PolyMem formulating dressings on shave biopsy sites compared to the current standard of practice, which is antibiotic ointment covered with a band-aid type dressing.
