“…[4] The dressing has neither advantages nor disadvantages compared to conventional exposure treatment with regard to healing time, rate of bacterial contamination, need for split skin grafting, the quality of scars in spontaneously healed areas, or comfort to the patients. [5] We applied omiderm on the patient on 2 nd postburn day anticipating the area of superficial burns to heal, simultaneously decreasing the need for frequent anesthesia for dressings. We did not prefer collagen application on this patient; it being an animal derivative and no published reports are there to prove its safety in neonates and allergic reactions.…”

Domestic burns in neonate are rare in literature. Neonates are high risk for burns because of their thin and fragile skin, fluid overload or dehydration as the fluid balance range is small and immature immune system leading to septicaemia. Neonates are not small adults, owing to their different physiological response makes the management of neonates challenging as the clinical signs are different from the adults and the resuscitation protocols or end points are also different. We present a case of 11 days old neonate, who sustained 51% scald burns when the hot water bag being used by her mother accidentally burst, the youngest reported case of domestic scald burns with such high percentage. The baby was managed by fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, dressings, ventilatory support for septicaemia and subsequently homograft application. The neonate was discharged with completely healed areas after 35 days of burns and is on regular follow up and no complications have been observed.

“…However, during clinical application of these foils, restrictions showed up: the water vapour permeability varies and with some covers results in liquid retention [64]. With others, excessive fluid loss was seen [65,66]. Polyacrylat, often used as adhesive agent, can be incorporated, leading to foreign body reactions and possibly causing cytopathic effects [67].…”

Resorbable materials have gained a considerable position in the daily routine of all surgical disciplines. Natural products like catgut and collagen have been used historically. Since the development of synthetical macromolecules more than 40 years ago, the range of indications for the use of such materials has widened significantly in our daily routine. Suture materials, mesh, tissue pads, clips, screws and anchors are in use. More recent developments in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery include screw-plate systems, wound dressing materials and films for the prevention of adhesions and ossifications. This appears to be the beginning of an era of new materials as these implants not only fulfil a temporary biomechanical role but in theory also can release a controlled amount of biologically active substances at a set timeframe. Also they are potential carriers for transplants on a cellular level. This aspect will be of importance in the orthopedic field, where resorbable films only play a minor role so far.At the moment there are six resorbable or biodegradable films or foils on the market that are used or can be used in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery.These are foils and films made of following materials: carboxy-methyl-cellulose and hyaloronic acid (Seprafilm®), oxydized regenerated cellulose (Interceed®), polydioxanon (PDS®) and copolymers of lactid und caprolacton (Topkin®, Oprafol®, Mesofol®).Main indications for their use are wound dressing, especially after split skin graft and thermal wounds, prophylaxis of adhesions and prevention of the formation of synostoses and heterotopic ossifications. The results of clinical trials are promising and the increasing number of publications in the last 5 years in this field is an expression of increasing demand of these materials. However, it could also be an expression of the growing interest in drug delivery techniques as well as in tissue engineering which are possible with these materials.

“…It adheres to the wound without sutures, staples or glue (Eldad and Tuchman, 1991). Omiderm has been used to provide temporary cover in the management of partial thickness burns as well as excised full thickness burns (Cristofoli et al, 1986;Golan et al, 1985;Siim et al, 1989). As this material is permeable to liquids, it has been proposed as an interface for skin grafting (a layer of material placed between the graft and the dressing).…”

Early burn excision has reduced the mortality from major burns. This practice presents the problem of wound coverage after excision, since the availability of autologous donor sites is limited in very large burns. This article reviews the methods available for covering burn wounds. Methods of expanding autologous skin are discussed as well as techniques using allogeneic tissue and xenograft. Newer synthetic skin substitutes have become an important advance and are also described. Cultured skin replacements are also discussed along with their shortfalls. The treatment of a patient with major burns may require the use of many different skin substitutes, as none is entirely satisfactory on its own.
