Primary outcomePrimary: Clinical Efficacy of Wound Dressing Containing Silk Sericin for Split-thickness Skin Graft Donor Site Treatment — 12 Days
Summary
1. Silk sericin wound dressing may reduce time for complete epithelialisation of split-thickness skin graft donor sites compared to Bactigras®.
2. Silk sericin wound dressing may reduce pain level at split-thickness skin graft donor sites compared to Bactigras® .
3. Silk sericin wound dressing may not cause split-thickness skin graft donor sites infection as compared to Bactigras®.
4. Split-thickness skin graft donor sites which treat by silk sericin wound dressing may not cause significant adverse events.
