What is this trial about?

The objective of the study is to evaluate Procellera® , a novel FDA approved antimicrobial wound dressing in a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study. The hypothesis is that when the dressing is moistened, the low electric field created by moisture-activated elemental silver and zinc electro-couple will prevent formation of biofilm in wounds or to disrupt existing biofilm.
