Comparing two donor site dressings for skin graft recovery
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You will have a split-thickness skin graft taken from a donor site large enough to be divided into two equal parts for comparison.
- The donor site must be in an area where we can take standard photos and check healing easily.
- You must be willing to come back for follow-up visits to check healing and take photos.
- You must not have any allergies to lidocaine, silver, or the test dressings.
- The donor site must not be too small, oddly shaped, or in a location that prevents splitting it into two equal parts.
- You must not have severe health conditions that could slow healing, and you cannot be pregnant.

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 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 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 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 study tests a new wound dressing called Field Shield for people with burn injuries. It compares the new dressing to standard care. The goal is to see if it helps burns heal better.
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.
