Efficacy of SynEx Wound Rinse in Civilian Surrogates of Combat Injury Wounds

Participants with gunshot, penetrating or burn wounds who participate will be asked to attend up to four study visits, use the assigned wound cleanser and complete brief surveys about their healing and well-being related to the wound healing.
