Unlabelled: This article describes a technique to create a novel Biobrane glove to treat superficial circumferential paediatrics hand scalds. It includes step by step instructions and illustrations to demonstrate the application of two sheets of Biobrane to cover the entire hand.
Conclusion: This method seems to be more cost-effective than the Biobrane glove distributed by Smith & Nephew.

Introduction: An ever-increasing number of commercially available dressings have been applied to treat superficial burns with the aim to reduce pain and inflammation and lead to a fast wound healing and scar reduction. Nevertheless the search for cheap and effective wound dressing proceeds. Dressilk consisting of silkworm silk showed good results for wound healing in regards to scarring, biocompatibility and reduction of inflammation and pain.

Hand burns can have major implications on function, appearance, and quality of life. Our clinical practice has changed over the last 10 years, with a steady increase in the proportion of hand burns receiving early and aggressive surgical management using Biobrane® sheets/gloves and a concomitant fall in the proportion requiring excision and split skin grafting. The aim of this study was to measure a comprehensive range of outcomes for patients admitted with isolated hand burns to review our outcomes and provide us with the "expected" patterns of recovery.

Background: While use of biocomposite temporary dressings in burn wounds is common practice, the complex anatomic structures of the hand make this treatment option challenging. For this reason, the Biobrane ((R)) Glove (Smith&Nephew) has been developed. However, limited information regarding burn treatment with Biobrane ((R)) Gloves can be found in the literature.
