Summary

This study tests a new lab-grown skin substitute (EHSG-KF) for treating deep burns in adults and teens. It aims to see if this bio-engineered skin works as well as standard skin grafts but requires less healthy skin from the patient. The trial involves 14 participants and compares healing and infection rates between the two methods.
