Novel Biomaterial Containing Gelatin, Manuka Honey, and Hydroxyapatite Enhanced Secondary Intention Healing vs. Standard Secondary Intention Healing in Mohs Surgical Defects on the Head and Distal Lower Extremities - A Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Participants in this group will receive the experimental APIS Biomaterial on the Head., Participants in this group will receive the experimental APIS Biomaterial on the Lower Extremities., and 2 other interventions for Wound Heal. Completed, enrolled 37 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to elucidate if a novel biomaterial containing gelatin, manuka honey, and hydroxyapatite enhances secondary intention healing when compared to conventional secondary intention healing for surgical defects after Mohs micrographic surgery on the head and distal lower extremities (below the knee). This novel biomaterial has already been FDA cleared for surgical wounds.

Interventions
One layer of APIS® will be applied to the post-operative wound on the head covered by petrolatum impregnated gauze, a non-stick Telfa pad, gauze, and Opsite tape.
One layer of APIS® will be applied to the post-operative wound on the lower extremities covered by petrolatum impregnated gauze, a non-stick Telfa pad, gauze, and Opsite tape.
Participants in this group will receive standard secondary intention wound healing post-operative care on the Head. Post-operative wound will heal via conventional secondary intention. Application of petrolatum impregnated gauze, a non-stick Telfa pad, gauze, and Opsite tape.
Participants in this group will receive standard secondary intention wound healing post-operative care on the Lower Extremities. Post-operative wound will heal via conventional secondary intention. Application of petrolatum impregnated gauze, a non-stick Telfa pad, gauze, and Opsite tape.
