Depending on the severity of the burns, the trial is limited to 20% to 50% burns and patient approval some of these might fit the criteria.

"As previously reported, Human Research Ethics Committee approval has been received for a 5 patient burn trial to be conducted by Principal Investigator, Professor John Greenwood AM, at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. The approved trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry. The trial aims to assess the performance of the NovoSorbTM BTM when implanted in adult patients who have sustained deep dermal and full-thickness (3rd degree) burns to between 20% and 50% of their total body surface area (TBSA)."

In any event they would come to the notice of Dr Greenwood and he would try and have them enrolled if suitable.

The question is would we be told if recruitment had started.


Here are a few recent samples from other parts of Australia that show serious burns are by no means rare and the need if the Polynovo solution works will be great.

Pity Polynovo only has one trial site.

Just to keep you amused while we wait for some news!!

Keeping a hold in place though turnover today is encouraging
