“…Another example of a synthetic alternative is a product known as Omiderm ® , which shares amino acid similarities with human epidermis (Acrylamide and hydroxymenthyl methacrylate). It is a hydrophilic copolymer membrane made of poliurethane which is non adhesive, adaptable, and transparent [46]. Based on the studies, it also reduces pain, protects the growth of bacteria, and thanks to its transparency, it allows access to the wound bed without changing the dressing [47].…”

The goal of burn wound treatment is to ensure rapid epithelialization in superficial burns and the process of rebuilding the lost skin in deep burns. Topical treatment plays an important role. One of the innovations in the field of synthetic materials dedicated to the treatment of burns is epidermal skin substitutes. Since the introduction of Suprathel®, the alloplastic epidermal substitute, many research results have been published in which the authors investigated the properties and use of this substitute in the treatment of wounds of various origins, including burn wounds. Burn wounds cause both physical and psychological discomfort, which is why ensuring comfort during treatment is extremely important. Alloplastic epidermal substitute, due to its biodegradability, plasticity, no need to remove the dressing until healing, and the associated reduction in pain, is an alternative for treating burns, especially in children.

“…7 Bu yara örtüsü ayrıca, dermabrazyon yapılan hastaların cerrahi sonrası bakımında, serbest fleplerde kapiller dolumun izlenmesine izin veren bir kapatıcı örtü olarak, deri greftlerinde, CO 2 lazer ile deri yenileme işlemi sonrasında ve trombosit kö-kenli büyüme faktörüyle birlikte kronik radyasyon ülserlerinde kullanılmıştır. [8][9][10][11][12] Omiderm üzerine antibakteriyel ilaçların kullanılabilmesi ve örtünün bakterilere geçirgen olmaması nedeni ile yara enfeksiyonu riski çok azdır. Bununla birlikte, bir bebekte bu yara örtüsünün yanık yarası üzerine uygulanması sonrasında toksik şok sendromu geliştiği bildirilmiştir.…”

“…Eldad et al [104] examined the use of Omniderm as an interface in burn wounds requiring skin grafts, particularly on problematical areas and wounds that were heavily contaminated with bacteria. They concluded that about 75 per cent improvement was achieved in comparison with other dressings under similar conditions.…”

Throughout most of history, serious burns occupying a large percentage of body surface area were an almost certain death sentence because of subsequent infection. A number of factors such as disruption of the skin barrier, ready availability of bacterial nutrients in the burn milieu, destruction of the vascular supply to the burned skin, and systemic disturbances lead to immunosuppression combined together to make burns particularly susceptible to infection. In the 20th century the introduction of antibiotic and antifungal drugs, the use of topical antimicrobials that could be applied to burns, and widespread adoption of early excision and grafting all helped to dramatically increase survival. However the relentless increase in microbial resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobials has led to a renewed search for alternative approaches to prevent and combat burn infections. This review will cover patented strategies that have been issued or filed with regard to new topical agents, preparations, and methods of combating burn infections. Animal models that are used in preclinical studies are discussed. Various silver preparations (nanocrystalline and slow release) are the mainstay of many approaches but antimicrobial peptides, topical photodynamic therapy, chitosan preparations, new iodine delivery formulations, phage therapy and natural products such as honey and essential oils have all been tested. This active area of research will continue to provide new topical antimicrobials for burns that will battle against growing multi-drug resistance.
