Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and validity of the wound dressing using heterogenic type I collagen dressing (Collaheal¨Þ).
Methods: From January 2010 to April 2010, 46 burn patients with deep second degree or third degree burn wound were treated with Collaheal¨Þ. And we followed up the patients to assess the treatment result with Vancouver scar scale after 6 months.
Results: Of the 46 patients, 42 patients had deep second degree burn only and 4 patients had deep second degree burn with third degree burn. It took 18.5 days to re-epithelialize for patients with deep second degree burn and 40.5 days for third degree burn wound. After 6 months, follow-up was performed to assess the wound result. We can observe that 24 patients had mild scar and 5 patients had moderate scar and 2 patients had severe scar. The severity of scar increased as the re-epithelialization period increased.
Conclusion: It took 18.5 days to re-epithelialize the deep second degree burn wound with collagen dressing. And the long term result was good. Type I collagen dressing can be used for treatment option for the patients with deep second degree burn wound and the patients with small third degree burn wound who cannot be operated.
