What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new device called ART that helps collect skin grafts from a patient's own skin. It is aimed at people who need skin grafts, such as those with burns or injuries. The device works by growing new skin from a small sample of the patient's own skin, which can then be used for healing.
