Abstract

Thermal burns are skin injuries caused by excessive heat, typically from contact with hot surfaces, hot liquids, steam, or flame. Most burns are minor and can be treated as outpatients or at local hospitals. Approximately 6.5% of all burned patients receive treatment in specialized burn centers. Thermal burns are the most common type of burn injuries, making up about 86% of the burned patients requiring burn center admission. In this case we will assess the role of feracrylumin the management of burn wound. Feracrylum solution is a novel topical hemostatic agent, for use in control of oozing in various surgical procedures. It also possesses antimicrobial properties and decreases the wound infection.
