Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this study is to test the following hypotheses:

1. Early use of water-soluble surfactant dressing (WSD) on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in tissue salvage and reduce surgical burden.
2. Early use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in faster healing.
3. Use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in less painful wound care.
4. Early use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in less infection.
5. Early use of WSD on partial-thickness burn wounds will result in lower hospital costs.
