Summary

This is a randomized, within-patient controlled study to compare the clinical performance of the ReCell Device with that of Split-thickness Meshed Skin Grafts for the treatment of second degree burns. The hypothesis to be supported are: 1) non-inferiority with the primary efficacy endpoint defined as recipient site wound closure at week 4 follow-up visit of the ReCell-treated area as compared to that of the STMSG-treated area, and 2)superiority in the healing of the ReCell donor site as compared to the STMSG donor site at week 1.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • The subject requires primary skin grafting as a result of an acute thermal burn injury
  • The area of the burn injury is at least 200cm2 (1% TBSA in adults) if a contiguous wound, or at least 100cm2 for each of 2 noon-contiguous wounds
  • The area of total burn injury is 1-20% TBSA
  • The burn injured area can be divided into two treatment areas ( control and treatment) with 100-320cm2 area for each treatment type
  • The study treatment area is a second degree burn injury
  • The subject is between 18-65 years of age
  • The subject is willing to complete all follow-up evaluations required by the study protocol
  • The subject is to abstain from any other treatment of the wound(s) for the duration of the study unless medically necessary
  • The subject agrees to abstain from enrollment in any other clinical trial for the duration of the study
  • The subject and/or guardian are able to read and understand instructions and give informed, voluntary, written consent
  • The subject is able and willing to follow the protocol requirements

Exclusion Criteria

  • The subject's burn injuries were caused by chemicals, electricity, and/or radioactive substances
  • The total subject burn injury is less than 1% or more than 20% TBSA
  • The subject has a microbiologically proven pre-existing local or systemic bacterial infection
  • The subject has been receiving a systemic antibiotic for more than 48 hours prior to grafting
  • The subject is known to have a pre-existing condition that may interfere with wound healing ( e.g. malignancy, diabetes, or autoimmune disease)
  • The subject is unable to follow the protocol
  • The subject is taking medication known to have an effect on wound healing or skin pigmentation ( e.g. systemic corticosteroids, retinoids, etc)
  • The subject has other concurrent conditions that in the opinion of the investigator may compromise patient safety or study objectives
  • The subject has a known hypersensitivity to Trypsin or Compound sodium Lactate for Irrigation (Hartmann's) solution
