Summary

This study tests whether a graft made from fish skin can help deep burn wounds heal without needing as much of the patient's own skin. About 65 adults with deep partial-thickness burns will receive both a fish skin graft and a standard skin graft on different burn areas. Researchers will compare how much extra skin grafting is needed, how well the wounds close, pain levels, and scar appearance over a year.
