NCT ID NCT07372404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a cream made from human fat can help skin graft donor sites heal faster and form better scars. Thirty adults getting skin grafts will have two donor sites: one treated with the fat extract and the other with standard care. Researchers will compare healing time, scar quality, and any side effects over 60 days.
