NCT ID NCT05424354

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares a new powder dressing called Altrazeal to standard burn dressings in adults with partial thickness burns. The goal is to see if the new dressing reduces pain during changes and helps wounds heal faster. Sixty hospitalized patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments and followed for up to 28 days.
