Abstract

A prospective, randomised, controlled study compared Zenoderm^R (ZM) with DuoDERM E^R (DE) in the treatment of split skin graft donor areas in 64 patients. The donor site comfort was similar in the two groups. DE usage resulted in significantly faster healing but also a higher leakage rate than ZM. Two patients in the ZM group developed infection in their donor sites. The cost is significantly less with ZM than DE.
