Summary
This study tested whether a dressing made from chitosan (a substance from shrimp shells) works as well as a standard hydrocolloid dressing for healing skin graft donor sites. Twenty-two people each had half of their wound treated with the chitosan sponge and the other half with the standard dressing. Researchers checked healing speed, pain, itching, ease of removal, and scarring over 6 months.
