Summary

This trial will help determine if epidermal grafts can be an effective treatment option for radiation dermatitis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have skin wounds from radiation treatment, such as moist desquamation or superficial ulcers. Participants must have a wound area of at least 20 cm2 and be able to follow the study's schedule. They should not be part of another drug study, pregnant, have uncontrolled diabetes, or conditions that could interfere with healing.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the CelluTome Epidermal Grafting System on patients with radiation dermatitis. It evaluates if epidermal grafts harvested using this device can effectively heal radiation-induced skin injuries compared to traditional methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort during the procedure, reactions at the donor or recipient site like redness or swelling, and possible infection risks. However, since there are no new drugs involved in this process, drug-related side effects are not expected.
