Treating wounds with tiny skin graft columns
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a technique where doctors place very small “columns” of your own skin to help cover open wounds. It may help people who need tissue coverage, as long as the wound location and wound condition fit the study rules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 8 to 85 years old
- You have an open wound (10 to 125 square centimeters) on the scalp, neck, torso, or arms/legs
- There is enough healthy skin somewhere else to take skin from (the donor site)
- Your wound is NOT on the face
- Your wound is NOT over a joint, and it does not expose muscle, tendon, joint, or bone
- You are not pregnant and do not have an active infection where the treatment or skin would be taken

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial tests a lab-grown skin product designed to help heal stubborn wounds that won't close on their own—including burns, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure sores. The goal is to see if this engineered skin can speed up healing and reduce scarring.
This trial tests a new 'living' dressing made from plant cells that might help deep skin wounds heal faster and better. It could be an option if you have a relatively large, clean wound that needs new skin growth.
This trial tests whether mesenchymal stem cells (a type of healing cell) can help burn wounds recover better when combined with skin grafting. The goal is to improve how well the grafted skin takes and heals.
This trial tests a way to grow your own skin cells to help heal very large, deep wounds that are expected to take at least 2 weeks to heal. It may be most helpful if you have a major skin injury covering a large part of your body.
