  • Title: [New concepts in local burn wound therapy].
    Author: Behr B, Megerle KO, Germann G, Kloeters O.
    Journal: Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir; 2008 Dec; 40(6):361-6. PubMed ID: 19051160.
    Abstract:
    Local burn wound care represents an integral part in the treatment of burn victims. A primary treatment goal is to prevent superficial infections, which can lead to life-threatening bacteraemia and sepsis. Secondary goals include improvement of functional and aesthetic outcome of the regenerating skin or scar tissue. Within the last few years numerous innovations have been evolved and some have already been incorporated into the clinical routine. In line with this, the first mid-term studies can be found in the literature. For instance, a hydrosurgical system can now be used for debridement and novel skin substitutes like Suprathel and Matriderm are commercially available. This review article summarises the most recent innovations in local burn wound care and puts them into a scientific perspective.
