Study summary
This study is being performed to assess the effectiveness of Altrazeal(R) Transforming Powder Dressing (TPD) in patients with partial thickness burns compared to the current standard of care (SOC) dressing. Adult men and women 18-65 years old who are hospitalized with an acute (meaning the burn injury occurred less than 72 hours prior to enrollment in the study) partial thickness burn wound, less than 20 percent of total body surface area may be considered. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either SOC or TPD. Subjects will be followed for up to 28 days after enrollment.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Pain from the Burn Wound — 28 days (or sooner if the wound heals prior to 28 days) Subjects will complete a visual analogue scale (VAS) to rate their pain prior to, during and after dressing changes. The scale ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst pain possible.
