Article Synopsis
- Porcine models are commonly used in burn healing research, but anatomical locations and inconsistent wound methods can skew results.
- The study aims to analyze how the anatomical location impacts burn creation and healing, using euthanized and live pigs to assess differences in burn depth and healing times based on location.
- Findings reveal that ventral skin suffers deeper burns and exhibits slower healing compared to dorsal skin, underscoring the need for consistent treatment strategies and careful consideration of anatomical sites in research to improve the relevance of results for human applications.
