UNASSIGNED: Nearly 80% of all burns include the hands of affected individuals. Skin grafting is the gold standard in burns treatment, but in the case of the burn wound bed, it may require the necessity of utilising skin substitutes to facilitate closure. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a porcine-derived wound dressing (Oasis   ) for application to hand burns compared to a synthetic dressing (Suprathel   ). Comparative assessments were made, including the time to heal, quality of healing and @entity158 intensity. A retrospective, unblinded, matching pair case-control of hand burns was performed. A control group of 24 @entity1 was treated with Suprathel dressing, and a study group of six @entity1 underwent application of the Oasis dressing. The wound healing process was evaluated by taking histopathological specimens and also utilising the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool. A 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used for @entity158 assessment. Other parameters measured included dressing loss because of @entity281 and the need of rehabilitation. The progress of wound healing on the fourth day in the study group was 30%. A decrease in the level of @entity158 was recorded on the fourth day after surgery. There was a decrease of 5% in the risk of rehabilitation in the treatment group.

A new option for definitive burn wound closure  -  pair matching type of retrospective case-control study of hand burns in the hospitalised XXXX group in the Dr Stanislaw Sakiel Centre for Burn Treatment between 2009 and 2015.
