Abstract
Burn injuries represent a significant portion of common injuries, stemming from thermal,
scalding, or electrical incidents. Among these, scald injuries stand out as the predominant type in
children under five years old, constituting a majority, with over 65% of cases falling under this
category. Currently, various scaffolds are employed to enhance the healing process and mitigate
scar formation. Collagen plays a crucial role as a scaffold, facilitating tissue regeneration and
supporting the formation of new blood vessels. Additionally, alternative scaffolds like the
amniotic membrane contribute to proper epithelialization and diminish scarring, boasting
distinctive anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic properties.
In our study, we opted to utilize amniotic membrane heterograft as a biological dressing for a
patient grappling with a second-degree scald burn wound. This choice aligns with the
contemporary approach of harnessing innovative solutions to optimize patient outcomes in burn
care. By leveraging the unique attributes of amniotic membrane, we aimed to not only accelerate
the healing process but also to minimize scarring and promote a favorable recovery trajectory for
the individual. Such advancements underscore the ongoing pursuit within the medical field to
explore and integrate novel therapies that promise enhanced efficacy and improved patient
experiences in managing burn injuries.
