Pig-based wound dressing study for skin graft donor sites
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests how well a pig-based covering dressing works on skin graft donor-site wounds (where skin is taken to make a graft). It may help support faster, safer healing after a split-thickness skin graft.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a skin graft donor-site wound that fits within about 14 by 20 cm and needs a covering material.
- You can give consent and have at least 24 hours to think it over before joining.
- You must be 16 years or older.
- You do not have medical problems that the study doctor feels would slow wound healing (for example uncontrolled diabetes, poor circulation, serious anemia, or certain chronic infections).
- The donor-site area is not currently infected, and you’re not dealing with serious infection like cellulitis, bone infection, or bloodstream infection.
- You do not have allergies to pig (porcine) materials or strong cultural/religious objections to pig products.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
This trial tests two different dressings used on the area where a skin graft is taken from (the donor site) to see which one heals better and is more comfortable. If you are having a skin graft, this study compares both dressings on the same wound so you can see which works best.
This study compares two types of dressings used on the area where a skin graft is taken from, to see which one helps the wound heal better and with less discomfort.
This trial tests a new bandage (called Microlyte DualGuard) for the spot on your thigh where skin is taken for a graft. The bandage contains silver and gallium, which may help the wound heal and reduce infection. The study will check if the bandage is safe and how well it works.
This trial studies whether a special suction dressing (negative pressure) helps healing at the skin-graft donor site for people getting a fibula free flap. It may reduce complications and improve how the graft takes, compared with standard care.
