Summary

This study tested whether a chitosan sponge (made from shrimp shells) works as well as a standard hydrocolloid dressing for healing skin graft donor sites. 22 people participated, with each person's wound split in half to compare both dressings directly. Researchers measured healing speed, pain, itching, and scarring over 6 months.
