Summary

A rabbit skin burn model was developed using a 43°C copper device for 4 seconds to achieve deep second-degree burns. Body resin casts proved the most effective method for wound dressing fixation in this animal model.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Dermatology
Surgical Research

Background:

Developing reliable animal models is crucial for studying burn wound healing.
Standardized methods for inducing specific burn depths are needed for preclinical research.
Effective wound dressing fixation is essential for successful burn management in animal models.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish an easy and suitable skin burn model in rabbits.
To determine the optimal temperature and contact time for inducing deep second-degree burns.
To identify the most effective method for securing wound dressings in rabbit burn models.

Main Methods:

New Zealand male rabbits were used.
A copper device heated to 43-48°C inflicted burns with contact times of 3, 4, 5, and 7 seconds.

Histological evaluation assessed burn depth; four dressing fixation methods were tested: retention bandages, skin staplers, collars, and body resin casts.

Main Results:

A deep second-degree burn was consistently achieved at 43°C for 4 seconds.
Retention bandages and skin staplers were ineffective or caused secondary injury.
Collars caused superficial neck lesions, while body resin casts were the most successful fixation method.

Conclusions:

The optimal parameters for creating a deep second-degree burn in rabbits are 43°C for 4 seconds.
Body resin casts represent the most effective and suitable method for wound dressing fixation in this rabbit burn model.
