Abstract

Burn injuries in children are common and can be life-threatening in complicated cases; however, there is a lack of published literature addressing these  accidents in detail. This study demonstrated that the use of a Type II medical device with wound healing properties—a carbohydrate polymer with zinc oxide—was effective in the recovery of extensive facial burns of grades 2 and 3.
