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 study checks whether a treatment using your own skin graft material is safe and feasible. It aims to see if using a small sample from your skin and making an “autologous” skin graft can be done safely and with good follow-through.
This trial tests a new wound dressing called DERMASEAL for the area where a skin graft is taken (the donor site). It aims to see if DERMASEAL helps the donor site heal faster and with less pain than standard care.
This trial compares two types of dressings—paraffin mesh gauze and a special foam—for covering the area where a skin graft is taken. The goal is to see which one helps the donor site heal better and more comfortably.
This study tests a new dressing called Microlyte DualGuard for the spot on your thigh where healthy skin is taken to help heal another wound. The dressing contains silver and gallium to help prevent infection and promote healing.
