Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Catasyn™ Advanced Technology Hydrogel and SynePure™ Wound CleanserExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Synedgen has developed Catasyn™ Advanced Technology Hydrogel and SynePure™ Wound Cleanser. These products are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) cleared wound care medical devices, formulated with a novel biocompatible chitosan derivative, poly (acetyl, arginyl) glucosamine. SynePure™ Wound Cleanser is optimized for the cleansing and debridement of wounds and thermal injuries, and Catasyn™ Advanced Technology Hydrogel serves as a protective gel dressing. Together, these products reduce inflammation in wounds, aggregate bacteria and disrupt bacterial biofilms, and accelerate healing.
Group II: Silver sulfadiazineActive Control1 Intervention
Topical management via dressings provide a barrier against microbial infection. The current gold standard for burn wound dressings is silver (nanoparticulate or ionic), and it has shown some efficacy in treating infections, but it does not demonstrate an ability to prevent infections and some treatment guidelines even recommend against its use. Although silver dressing is preferred for military use, a retrospective review spanning 10 years of use in military environments showed that silver was not more effective than other antimicrobial topical treatments, and a meta-analysis with over 2500 surgical patients found silver sulfadiazine was associated with increased infection rates and hospital length-of-stays were two days longer on average.
