2. The maximum area requiring autografting is 50% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA).
3. Two comparable areas requiring autografting, each at least 160 cm2 (or 320 cm2 contiguous), excluding face and genitalia. When hands or joints are included in the treatment areas, comparability of treatment areas means that each area (RECELL and Control) must include the same contralateral joint and/or hand.

4. The patient is unable to follow the protocol requirements.
5. The patient has a condition that in the investigator's opinion may compromise patient safety or trial objectives.
