Abstract

Normal wound healing is a complex process involving three phases namely inflammatory, proliferating, and remodeling. Studies have shown that sucralfate has a beneficial effect on ulcers, skin lesions, and burn wounds by promoting healthy granulation thereby preparing the wound bed. Whereas non cultured keratinocyte graft has proven to promote epithelialization of the wound. In this study, we used non cultured keratinocyte graft with sucralfate in a pediatric patient with burn wounds onthe face.
