Abstract:
The article critically analyses the role of Biobrane, one of the widely used modern biosynthetic dressings, in paediatric partial-thickness scald burns.

However, very few studies with long-term follow up are available. Further randomised controlled trials are required to challenge the supremacy of Biobrane in paediatric partial-thickness burns.
