Abstract
In 16 patients with thermal injury, no difference in bacterial clearing was noted when wounds were dressed with cadaver homograft skin, porcine skin, either mesh or sheet, and with amnion. Because of cost and ease, fresh porcine skin for 2nd and 3rd degree burns is preferred.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
