Management strategy for second-degree burns using a new dressing

Evaluation of a Management Strategy for Second-degree Fibrinous Burns Integrating a Poly-absorbent Dressing: a Prospective, Controlled, Open, Randomized Multicentre Study

Not applicable Interventional Hospices Civils de Lyon · NCT05347654

This study tests a new dressing for second-degree burns to see if it helps adults heal better and faster compared to the usual silver cream treatment.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates a management strategy for second-degree fibrinous burns by comparing traditional silver sulphadiazine treatment with a new approach that incorporates URGOCLEAN® dressing after initial treatment. The goal is to optimize wound healing and reduce the need for skin grafts by promoting fibrin detersion. The study focuses on adult patients with specific criteria for burn severity and surface area. Participants will be monitored for healing outcomes and overall treatment efficacy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with second-degree burns affecting 0.25 to 10% of body surface area and specific fibrinous characteristics.

Not a fit: Patients with facial burns, diabetes, severe vascular insufficiency, or allergies to the dressing components may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved healing times and reduced need for skin grafts in patients with second-degree burns.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited evidence supporting the use of alternative dressings, previous studies suggest potential benefits, indicating this approach may be novel.
