Effectiveness of Suprathel® Application in Partial Thickness Burns, Frostbites and Lyell Syndrome Treatment

Abstract

Suprathel is a good dressing that can perform the function of a temporary epidermal substitute in partial-thickness burns and frostbites and in Lyell's syndrome. The dressing should be applied within 24 hours of injury, when there is the least exudate from the wound and the wound is not infected. Therapeutic effectiveness of Suprathel decreases along with a delay of its application to the burn wound and with increasing burn depth.
