Experimental: NovoSorb BTM
Application of NovoSorb BTM to study lesions
|
Device: NovoSorb BTM
NovoSorb BTM comprises a completely synthetic, sterile, integrating dermal component (porous biodegradable polyurethane foam) and a temporary epidermal barrier component (a nonbiodegradable polyurethane sealing membrane). These layers are adhered with a biodegradable polyurethane bonding layer. BTM will be implanted and fixed into position to close a debrided burn wound. After a period of integration, the sealing membrane is removed and a split skin graft is applied. |
Active Comparator: Standard of Care
Application of the institution's standard to care to study lesions.
|
Procedure: Standard of Care
Burn wounds will be treated using the institution's standard of care, e.g. primary skin grafting, cadaveric allograft followed by skin grafting. |
- Proportion of study lesions in both groups with complete wound closure after skin grafting [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after skin grafting ]Assessment of clinical outcome by wound closure

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provide written informed consent directly or via legal representative prior to any clinical study procedures being performed
- Willing to comply with all study procedures and expects to be available for the duration of the study
- Male and females ≥ 18 years of age and ≤ 75 years of age
-
Patients with deep dermal or full thickness burns between 3% and 60%, inclusive, of their total body surface area (TBSA).
Types of burns include the following:
- Scalding including from hot water, cooking oil, grease
- Flame
- Flash
- Contact
- Subjects who have staged surgical procedures planned e.g., one procedure to excise the burn injury and a later procedure to prepare the wound bed and apply an autologous skin graft.
- The minimum total area across all lesions to have NovoSorb® BTM applied is 3% BSA
- Females, who are non-pregnant, naturally postmenopausal, or who agree to use effective contraceptive methods throughout the course of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has a known hypersensitivity to polyurethane
- Only a non-burn injury has been experienced by the subject including soft-tissue degloving and friction burn/crush, i.e., road rash
- Multiple traumas, i.e., significant traumatic injury to a solid organ in addition to skin
- Presence of a medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 12 months, such as advanced malignancy
- Presence of a medical condition that might interfere with treatment evaluation; or require a change in therapy including but not limited to, significant immune deficiency, or skin or vascular diseases in the area of the wound
- For females - has known or suspected pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or during lactation
- Has exposure to any other investigational agent within the last 6 months
- Has exposure to any other treatment/device that will interfere with NovoSorb® BTM integration
- Anticipated inability to perform wound care and follow-up procedures
- Anticipates of a level of non-compliance
- The use of off-label treatments for full-thickness / deep-dermal burns is not permitted
- Clinical signs of wound infection at areas to be potentially treated using NovoSorb® BTM that in the opinion of the investigator may compromise safety and study objectives
- The use of NovoSorb® BTM on the face and in the perineum area is not permitted
