The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if povidone-iodine foam dressing is better in achieving complete reepithelialization of donor site wounds after harvest of split-thickness skin graft as paraffin mesh gauze.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does povidone-iodine foam dressing promotes complete reepithelialization earlier in comparison? Which type of dressing will require fewer replacements? Which type of dressing material is associated with less pain?
Non-probability consecutive sampling method will be used and participants divided in two groups. Donor site wounds after split-thickness skin graft harvest will be dressed using two different dressing materials. Participants will be followed until complete epithelialization with change of dressing on follow-ups if required. Complete epithelialization is usually achieved within two weeks.
Undergoing skin graft with donor site size between 25 to 200 cm2
Patients wit history of disease impairing wound healing (Diabetes, Malignancy, Cancer, taking immunosuppressants)
