This study tracks how well a fish skin graft (Kerecis) heals wounds in real patients. It helps doctors learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
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.
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 if a fish skin graft can help heal deep burns and reduce the need for a skin graft from your own body. It compares the fish skin graft to standard care for burns on the torso or arms and legs.
This trial tests whether applying a special fish skin graft, along with standard compression therapy, helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein function (venous leg ulcers) that have not healed with standard care alone. If you have a nonhealing venous leg ulcer, this study may offer a new treatment option.
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.
