New opportunities for surgical treatment of border burns using biological wound coatings

Objective: selection of optimal biological wound coverings for the treatment of patients with borderline burns. Material and methods. The results of treatment of 30 patients aged 28-58 years were analyzed. All patients were diagnosed with second degree burn wounds of varying localization and area from 5 to 20% (according to International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision). Of these, 13 (43%) patients in group I (age 48 [39; 54] years) underwent surgical removal of necrosis, and ChitoPran® biological wound dressings were applied to the wounds. The remaining 17 (56%) patients in group II (age 42 [28; 58] years) also underwent early surgical treatment, but the grafts were covered with synthetic Voskopran™ wound coverings.
