Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study the safety and feasibility of an acellular dermal template (Novomaix), combined with split thickness skin grafts, for use in patients with full thickness skin defects, is tested. Results will be compared intra-patient with those obtained after conventional treatment with split thickness skin grafts. We expect this treatment to be safe, and to provide better outcome regarding scar quality.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Using dermal substitutes in combination with a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) is a well acknowledged therapy in burns and reconstructive surgery. Nevertheless, the ideal substitute is not available yet. We therefore want to investigate the use of an acellular dermal template (Novomaix), in combination with STSG, to treat these defects. Adult patients with acute (burn) wounds (group 1) and scars (group 2) will be included in this study. This phase I study aims to investigate the safety and feasibility of the use of this dermal matrix, with regard to graft take, epithelialisation and complications after transplantation. Moreover, scar quality will be evaluated.
