New Navy Treatment for Burns
Is Proving Phenomenal Success

closes this wound with sutures. He
then slices the eXcised skin into
70 to 80 small sections, each about
one millimeter in width, and places
these strips on the burned surface.
Grating Cuts Healing Time.
The doctors here say the chief
advantages of this type of grating
are that the area from which the
skin is taken is closed Immediately.
and the CRAFTS, spreading and grow
ing from their edges, ultimately
cover an area six to eight times
larger than the area of the skin
excised. Grating decreases the
wound healing time.
The Corachan method was de-
scribed by Spanish surgeon OF
that name in 1888 and was used
extensively in the Spanish Civil
War British surgeons later took
up the method. but it has not been
used extensively in the United
States.
Identical twins are the only per-
sons who can swap skin for graft
ing successfully, the physicians ex-
plain Persons in the same blood
group can swap skin. but the graft
may remain only 8 or 10 weeks,
and then dissolve.
Patients Lose Appetite.
Another problem in burn cases
is the patients total loss OF ap-
petite, which prolongs the healing
time. To compensate, blood plasma
and glucose are fed into the pa
tents veins. and in some cases
the feeding is accomplished by a
tube inserted in the patients nos
trils and extending into the Stom-
acn or the lntestlnes.
Navy patients require plastic
operations to restore an ear, nose
or the function OF hand Nothing
Is neglected in an effort to return
the patient TO duty with as few
disfguring scars as possible RVS
In the treatment of naval per-
sonnet. cost is ignored by the Navy
surgeons, who are among the best
in the world Many were pro-
fessors in medical colleges through
out the United States before en-
/ tering the Navy. The nurses are
all graduate nurses and the hos
pitfalls equipment is the best avail
able.

PORTSMOUTH. Va, July 10
Navy physicians here, using new
methods of treatment with phe-
nomenal success. work quietly at
the task of saving the lives of men
who have gone through the hell of
fire from bomb and torpedo explo-
sions in the torment of superheated
steam.
Some of the IS burn casualties
admitted to the Norfolk Naval Hos
pital in recent months have had
as much as so per cent of the body
surface consumed by second and
third degree burns-yet there has
not been a death among them and
the great ma jority have returned to
active duty.
In recent months the Navy has
discarded the use of tannic acid
except in special cases. This
method had been universally used
since 1925. but experience here has
proven the advantage of vaseline
gauze or boric acid ointment with
compression dressings. These dress
ings consist OF many layers of gauze
or mechanic waste over the vaseline
sauze. with compression obtained
by cotton elastic bandages.
Burns Heal Quickly.
In most second degree burns.
those in which there is blister for
nation. no other local treatment is
needed and the burn usually heals
in two weeks.
Skin grating must be performed
in all cases of third degree burns
those in which simultaneous tissue,
muscles and even bone may be
burned-and in deep second degree
burns. Formerly the surgeons
waited four to eight weeks after a
man was burned before performing
skin grating operations, but now
they begin grating as soon as 10
to IA days after the initial injury,
Early grating prevents loss of
blood plasma, the liquid part of the
blood. The skin grating here en-
