Abstract

Burn injuries represent a significant portion of common injuries, stemming from thermal, scalding, or electrical incidents. Among these, scald injuries stand out as the predominant type in children under five years old, constituting a majority, with over 65% of cases falling under this category. Currently, various scaffolds are employed to enhance the healing process and mitigate scar formation. Collagen plays a crucial role as a scaffold, facilitating tissue regeneration and supporting the formation of new blood vessels. Additionally, alternative scaffolds like the amniotic membrane contribute to proper epithelialization and diminish scarring, boasting distinctive anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic properties. In our study, we opted to utilize amniotic membrane heterograft as a biological dressing for a patient grappling with a second-degree scald burn wound. This choice aligns with the contemporary approach of harnessing innovative solutions to optimize patient outcomes in burn care. By leveraging the unique attributes of amniotic membrane, we aimed to not only accelerate the healing process but also to minimize scarring and promote a favorable recovery trajectory for the individual. Such advancements underscore the ongoing pursuit within the medical field to explore and integrate novel therapies that promise enhanced efficacy and improved patient experiences in managing burn injuries.
