Biobrane (standard adherence) and Biobrane L (light adherence) were compared for their degree of adherence to donor site wounds on rabbits at 1, 4, 7, and 9 days. Biobrane, which has more nylon fabric exposed to the wound surface, had significantly greater adherence levels to the wound at all time periods when compared with Biobrane L, which has less nylon fabric exposed to the wound.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the healing outcomes of two products, Biobrane® and Epiprotect®, in treating partial thickness burns in children under 18 years old over a five-year period.
- Among 99 patients, the median healing time was slightly faster for Biobrane® (16 days) compared to Epiprotect® (19.5 days), but this difference was not statistically significant.
- Epiprotect® showed a significantly lower infection rate (2.6%) compared to Biobrane® (16.4%), indicating it might be a better option, although more research is needed for conclusive findings.

Introduction: Paediatric burns are a common clinical presentation. The long-term scar outcomes in paediatric burns patients are relatively unknown as most are discharged after 6 weeks follow up, apart from the small number that are followed up by scar services depending on geographical availability. We aimed to determine whether the long-term scarring outcomes are significantly different in those who had surgical treatment with Versajet® debridement and Biobrane, vs.

Background: The three-dimensional [3D] wound dressings Biobrane® and Epicite are used in the wound management. Fibroblasts are important for successful deep wound healing. The direct effect of Biobrane® and Epicite on human fibroblasts, particularly of juvenile individuals, remains unclear.

Biobrane(®) is commonly used in paediatric burns to cover partial thickness burns and donor sites of split thickness skin (SSG). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Biobrane(®) in dressing SSG adjacent to skin graft donor sites or partial thickness burns. A retrospective review was undertaken to determine the use of Biobrane(®) in dressing SSG, where the grafted areas were adjacent to donor sites or partial thickness burns.
