Burn injuries are a mostly avoidable trauma that affect millions of people
worldwide every year. Wound healing in burn patients is complex, and
infection is one of the main clinical complications associated with wound
care in burn patients. Biofilms are mostly associated with chronic wounds,
but have also been identified in acute, traumatic wounds. This article
shows an evaluation of a TLC-polyacrylate fibre dressing impregnated with
silver to manage burn wounds of different severities, in nine patients of
different ages from Vietnam. The outcomes show encouraging results in
the management of burns when considering healing properties, and also
management of infection, desloughing and wound healing outcomes.
