An Open, Non-controlled, Multi-centre, Clinical Investigation to Verify Performance and Safety of a Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer Containing Silver in the Treatment of Skin Grafts in Surgical Burn Patients and the Usefulness of a Marketed Donor Site Dressing.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mepitel® Ag and Mepilex® Transfer Ag for Burn Injury and Skin Graft. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Part A The primary objective of Part A will be to verify performance and safety of Mepitel® Ag, a meshed, non- adherent soft silicone wound contact layer containing silver in the treatment of skin grafts in surgical burn patients. Part B The primary objective of Part B will be to examine the usefulness of Mepilex® Transfer Ag as an adequate option for donor site healing.

Timeline
Interventions
A soft silicone wound contact layer that allows exudates to pass vertically into a secondary absorbent dressing. The product provides fixation and protection of the tissues and has antimicrobial properties. This silicone net dressing will be used to prevent lifting and adherence of skin grafts to the dressings, as well as to prevent pain, and promote healing.
Mepilex® Transfer Ag is a soft silicone wound contact layer that absorbs and transfers exudate, maintains a moist wound healing environment and has antimicrobial properties. Mepilex® Transfer Ag consists of a Safetac® adhesive layer and compressed polyurethane foam containing silver sulphate and activated carbon. Safetac® is a unique adhesive technology that minimizes pain to patients and trauma to wounds and the surrounding skin. It minimizes risk for maceration by sealing the wound margins; ensuring exudate does not spread to the surrounding skin.
