A novel nanofiber matrix dressing significantly reduced pain and accelerated healing for split-thickness skin graft donor sites compared to traditional methods. This wound management approach shows promise for improving patient recovery and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Wound Healing
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Donor-site morbidity, particularly pain, is a significant concern following split-thickness skin graft (STSG) harvest.
  • Electrospun nanofiber matrices offer a promising wound management strategy, but clinical data for STSG donor sites are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a nanofiber matrix for managing STSG donor sites.
  • To compare pain, healing time, and scar outcomes between nanofiber matrix dressing and conventional dressings.

Main Methods:

  • A single-center randomized comparative study involving 40 adult patients undergoing STSG harvest.
  • Patients were assigned to either a nanofiber matrix group (n=20) or a conventional dressing group (n=20).
  • Pain intensity, healing time, pruritus, and scar characteristics were assessed postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • The nanofiber matrix significantly reduced donor-site pain on postoperative days 1, 2, and 5 compared to conventional dressings (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.015).
  • Donor sites in the nanofiber group healed faster (15.05±2.34 days) than in the control group (18.15±4.38 days; p=0.045).
  • No significant differences were observed in pruritus, late scar hyperpigmentation, scar elevation, or infection rates between the groups.

Conclusions:

  • Nanofiber matrix dressing effectively reduces early postoperative pain and shortens healing time for STSG donor sites.
  • Late scar outcomes and short-term safety were comparable to conventional dressings.
  • Nanofiber-based donor-site management represents a clinically relevant application of electrospinning technology.
