    5. Burn area(s) located on smooth, flat surface
    6. 2 burn areas, each with a minimum size of 16cm2 (burn areas may be two separate burns or within one large burn, see Section 9.4.2)
  2. Age ≥ 12 months and ≤ 70 years

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded:

  1. Burns meeting any of the following criteria:

    1. Mechanism of injury was electrical, radiation, chemical or frostbite

    2. Wound is larger than 200 cm2

    3. Clinically infected burn (as judged by the investigator)

    4. Previous or planned treatment of the Burn Area(s) with any of the following:

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Freedom from Scarring3 Months

Vancouver Scar Scale: consists of four variables: pliability, vascularity, height (thickness), and pigmentation. Each variable has four to six possible scores. A total score ranges from 0 to 14, whereby a score of 0 reflects normal skin.

Healing Rate3 weeks

95% epitheliazation as assesses by the investigator

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reduction in pain3 weeks

Visual Analog Scale or FLACC Behavioral Pain Assessment Scale:VAS-No pain on left of line, worst pain imaginable on the right of line; FLACC- 0-2, (0 being least uncomfortable to 2 which is very uncomfortable)
