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.
