Abstract:
The different methods of local treatment of burns are still controversial. Aims of good local are the therapy prevention of fluid loss, loss of proteins, electrolytes, heat and energy, prevention eg. reduction of wound infections, preservation and acceleration of regeneration of remained own skin, influence on good formation of scars eg. preparing of high value as possible transplant-ground for eventual necessary skin transplantation. Experience in covering juvenile burn-injuries with lyophilized Human-Amnion were gathered in our department for more than 15 years. The treatment of patients with this "biological bandage" and results were demonstrated. In our opinion the method of primary amnion covering of juvenile burn-injuries is superior to other procedures.
