- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary performance outcome is the percentage take rate of applied HSE (area healed as a percentage of areas grafted) which will be assessed at clinical review by wound measurements, and with progressive clinical photographs, for direct comparison.[7-10 days post closure with HSE <br>1 month post closure with HSE <br>6 months post closure with HSE <br>12 months post closure with HSE ];Primary safety outcome is the incidence of adverse device effects (ADEs) collected throughout the clinical investigation. These will be assessed via clinician review, reviewing electronic medical records and by participant self-reporting throughout the study. Examples of possible adverse events include failure of HSE to integrate or achieve wound closure, infection, rash, discomfort or itch, serous fluid or blood under HSE, wound or joint contraction.[Duration of study: Adverse device events will be recorded at any time throughout the study, for a maximum of 12 months post burn injury closure with HSE.]
