Brief 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.

Detailed Description

This post market clinical follow-up investigation is designed as an open, non-controlled, multi- centre, clinical investigation.

A total of approximately 25 subjects from among 4-6 clinical investigative sites will be evaluated providing they fulfill all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. A signed and dated informed consent/assent will be obtained for all subjects.

Subjects to be included will present with a thermal burn injury that will require skin grafting and result in a donor site. Overall percent Total Body Surface Area (%TBSA) burned will not exceed 30%.

The subjects will be consecutively allocated to a subject code providing they fulfill all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria and have signed a written consent.

The subjects were participating in the study for 14 days postop.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A: Number of Participants With Healing14 days

Part A: Adequate take of skin graft (defined as at least 95% adherent and healed as assessed by clinical investigator).

Part B14 days with 2 visits

Part B: The healing percentage of donor sites (defined as greater than 95% epithelialization, verified by quantitative photographic analysis).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A Secondary Outcome.14 days with 2 visits

Satisfactory fixation of the product over the skin graft was assessed by a series of questions regarding the product assessment of product in place at each visit.

Ability to pass exudate to the secondary dressing was demonstrated by a series of questions regarding the exudate at each visit as well as the adherence of the dressing at removal which would show the ability of the dressing to pass the exudate to the secondary dressing rather than creating eschar between the wound and the dressing.

Part B Secondary Outcome.14 days with 2 visits

Ability of Mepilex® Transfer Ag to adhere to donor site without slippage.
