Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2010
Surgical treatment of hand contractures and pseudosyndactyly in Epidermolysis bullosa poses numerous medical and hospital management problems. For instance, the exceptional fragility of genetically defective epidermis may contribute to iatrogenic trauma or hamper and prolong healing.

Use of Biobrane in the Treatment of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1995
Toxic epidermal necrolysis syndrome is an exfoliative dermatologic disorder of unknown origin resulting in the loss of epidermis in a sheetlike fashion at the dermoepidermal junction. The resulting wound renders the patient vulnerable to potential septic complications, fluid and protein losses, and severe pain. During the past decade treatment of toxic

Biobrane in the management of critical microsurgical wounds of the upper extremity

Microsurgery, 2011
AbstractPurpose:Evolving soft tissue necrosis and/or edema can complicate microsurgical reconstruction by leading to open wounds with exposure of critical structures: anastamosed vessels, nerves, and tendons. Not infrequently, primary closure of these wounds is not possible.

Permanent scarring in a partial thickness scald burn dressed with Biobrane

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2009
Biobrane is a biosynthetic wound dressing which has shown to be effective in partial thickness burns by improving wound healing, reducing the pain in dressing changes, and the need to use skin grafts. In addition, it has been shown to reduce both in-patient and outpatient hospital costs and incur no increase in infection rates.

Use of Biobrane for Extensive Posterior Donor Site Wounds

Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1995
Optimal treatment of extensive donor sites in patients with major burn injuries can be frustrating for both physician and nursing staffs and can cause great discomfort for the patients. Slow healing or infections of donor site wounds may impede other aspects of burn care and delay further skin grafting.
