Pelashield vs Xeroform for skin graft donor sites
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two wound dressings, Pelashield and Xeroform, for the area where a skin graft is taken. It aims to see which dressing leads to better healing and less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a skin graft procedure that leaves a donor site large enough to be split into two halves for testing.
- Your donor site is in a spot where we can easily take photos to track how it heals.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits for wound checks and photos.
- You do not have allergies to lidocaine, silver, or the test dressings.
- You are not pregnant or have conditions that seriously slow wound healing.

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 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 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.
This study compares two wound dressings used after surgery for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) to see which one helps wounds heal better. It may help if you need a wide surgical excision for HS and can attend follow-up visits.
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.
