Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Wound healing (re-epithelialisation) measured through the Visitrak(TM) (performed every dressing change to track the size of the wound, marking wet and dry areas) as it heals over time; blinded review of photos; and consultant clinical judgement will also be used to determine days until re-epithelialisation. <br><br>A scan will be performed with a laser Doppler imager on the first change of dressings to measure wound depth for comparison of wound healing and to assist in determining whether skin grafting is required.[Measured every dressing change until re-epithelialisation. (Dressings are usually changed every 3 days).]
