Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In a prospective, open, randomized and parallel group trial, 98 patients with partial thickness burns suitable for outpatient management were treated with either Granuflex 'E' (n = 49) or Bactigras (n = 49). The objective was to compare the safety, efficacy and performance characteristics of Granuflex 'E' with Bactigras. The overall rating of the dressing by the investigators and the patients showed a significant preference for Granuflex 'E'. In addition, the quality of healing was rated as 'excellent' in 56 per cent of patients treated with Granuflex 'E', compared with only 11 per cent in the group treated with the conventional dressing. Granuflex 'E' is safe, effective and flexible and we recommend that it should be used as the first-choice dressing in the management of partial skin thickness burns. |
