Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of healing and the non-adherence of three types of dressings. The study will also compare rate of infection, scarring and perception of pain associated with treatment.
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate AWBAT™-D compared to Xeroform™ or Glucan II™ for the treatment of donor sites in burn surgery. Primary Study Goals: * To compare the rate of healing of donor sites. * To compare patient reported perception of pain * To compare the potential clinical complication rates of: * non-adherence, * seroma * hematoma * infection Secondary Study Goal: • To compare clinical outcome of donor sites: scarring based on the Vancouver Scar Scale.
