Clinical Study on Veloderm for the Treatment of Split-thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites

January 24, 2012 updated by: Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy on Veloderm (a Crystalline Cellulose Simple Occlusive Dressing) for the Split-thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites in Burn and Plastic Surgery

This study is a multi-center, randomized, open and paralleled positive control study for evaluating the safety and efficacy of Veloderm in treatment of split-thickness skin graft donor sites. The result implies that Veloerm can do it better than Vaseline gauze in accelerating and promoting wound healing of skin graft donor sites. The present study have indicated that high permeability of Veloderm dressing to oxygen and water vapor.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The rational oxygen permeability of Veloderm dressing also provides a good environment for wound healing. Therefore, it can be as a temporary skin substitute in the case of missing epidermis to play a role, in order to provide an ideal environment for wound epithelialization. As regards safety, 1 adverse reaction occured in test group. It shows effusion under the dressing mild inflammatory infiltration on the wound edge. After the dressing was changed and the effusion was drained, the patient was relieved. As Veloderm dressing itself has no direct anti-inflammatory effects, clinical application as appropriate can plus other anti-infective drugs in accordance with patient conditions. In conclusion, Veloderm is a safe and effective dressing to accelerate the healing of donor sites in burn and plastic surgery. Veloderm can be used as a temporary skin substitute in case of damage of skin or loss of superficial epidermal (such as burns, wounds, abrasions, ulcers, sores and auto-graft donor areas).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
