Medihoney and Santyl for Burn Injuries
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Burns
In brief
This study is designed to assess the efficacy of MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey dressing relative to SANTYL® ointment dressing on time to heal, bacterial growth in the wound, patient satisfaction, and treatment costs in patients with partial thickness burns. The study has four hypotheses: 1. It is hypothesized that MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey will result in significantly faster wound healing (i.e., fewer days) when compared to SANTYL®. 2. It is hypothesized that MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey sites will yield significantly fewer positive cultures for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria when compared to SANTYL® sites. 3. It is hypothesized that patients will provide significantly higher patient care satisfaction ratings regarding their MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey sites when compared to ratings with regard to their SANTYL® sites. 4. It is hypothesized that treatment costs, across participants, will be significantly lower for MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey than for SANTYL®.
