The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of NeoMatriXTM Wound Matrix to cause an allergic response to healthy volunteers using a skin prick test.
Using a minimally invasive skin prick test, the test material, positive control, and negative control are applied to the forearm using a prick test. The test area is observed after 15 minutes, 6 hours, and again at 1-2 days after the initial prick test. The skin will be examined for a reaction such as a wheal and/or a flare, a flare alone is not clinically significant.
