Abstract

Thermal Burns are a major cause of morbidity. They cause both time and financial burdens on the patient and caregiver. Over the years, there has been drastic improvement in modalities used in the treatment of Thermal Burns. The recent treatment options include the use of negative pressure wound therapy. We would like to share our experience in the management of Thermal burns with Cyclic NPWT. A common treatment for both acute and chronic wounds is negative pressure wound therapy. NPWT is recommended for a range of difficult wounds, and certain research supports its usage in specific burn care procedures. Even though more study is required to fully understand the advantages for burns, NPWT has shown promise as a dressing that supports skin grafts, encourages the integration of bilaminate dermal substitutes, encourages the re-epithelialization of skin graft donor sites, and may even lessen the zone of stasis. Based on indication/application, this article analyses the literature on NPWT in burns and discusses our experience with modified NPWT for major burns.
