Amniotic Membrane for Donor Site Healing

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Burns

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of applying amniotic membrane dressings compared to gentamicin and xeroform dressings to donor sites for skin grafts. This study will enroll ten participants who undergoing a split thickness skin graft procedure with two or more donor sites. The amniotic membrane will be applied to one donor site and a dressing of xeroform and gentamicin will be applied to another other donor site. Each participant will receive both types of dressing and will serve as their own control. Postoperative follow up will follow standard of care, regardless of the dressing type. Dressings will be removed on postoperative day 4 and participants will return to be re-examined one week after being discharged from the hospital.
