Abstract:
We evaluated the use of Suprathel®, a synthetic skin substitute, for partial thickness burns in children. Thirty-three children (20 females, 13 males; mean age 29 months, range 5 months to 11 years) with burns were treated with Suprathel®. The burns were superficial partial thickness (n = 24) or mid-dermal (n = 19); the median %TBSA was 4% (range 1–13%).
