Abstract

Burns are one of the most common injuries among the children, which are due to thermal, scald, electrical burn injuries. Scald injuries tend to be the most common type of burn injury under the age of five, accounting for over 65% of the cases.In current scenario, various scaffolds are used to improve the quality of healing process and reduce the scar formation. Collagen acts as a scaffold through which regeneration of tissues occurs and also helps in new vessel formation. Other scaffolds like amniotic membrane which has unique antiinflammatory, bacteriostatic property helps in proper epithelization and reduces scarring and silicone gel sheets has hydrophobic property, which reduces scarring and provides analgesia. In this study we attempted three layered scaffold dressing for an second degree scald burn pediatric patient.
