Abstract
Burns are one of the most common injuries among the children, which could due to thermal, scald, electrical burn injuries. Scald injuries tend to be the most common type of burn injury under the age of five, accounting for over 65% of the cases. In current scenario, various scaffolds are used to improve the quality of healing process and reduce the scar formation. Collagen acts as a scaffold through which regeneration of tissues occurs and also helps in new vessel formation. Other scaffolds like amniotic membrane helps in proper epithelization and reduces scarring. It also has unique anti inflammatory, bacteriostatic property. In this study we used amniotic membrane heterograft as a biological dressing in a paediatric patient with burn wounds to face.
