Safety and Efficacy Study of FS 4 IU VH S/D (Fibrin Sealant With 4IU/mL Thrombin, Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent Treated) to Adhere Split Thickness Skin Grafts and Improve Wound Healing in Burn Patients

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Deep Partial or Full Thickness Wounds

• Registration Number: NCT00157131
• Lead Sponsor: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate skin graft adherence and wound healing in burn patients to evaluate whether FS 4IU VH S/D is equivalent or superior to the current standard of care (staples). The primary endpoint is achievement of complete (100%) wound closure within 28 days.
