Abstract
Few injuries are more traumatic to the victim than a burn. To assist in preventing further damage beyond the burn site, a range of burn wound coverings has emerged over the years. These wound coverings, both natural and synthetic are discussed in connection with their historical significance and their effects on promoting the healing process. Particular reference is made to the choice of material for synthetic wound coverings.This publication has 59 references indexed in Scilit:
