    AbstractThe use of silastic foam as a surgical dressing in 15 children with full thickness burns to the hand is described. Silastic foam is a safe, easy and effective means of dressing the hand following surgery. It is rigid enough to act as a splint, and at the same time is deformable and accommodates postoperative swelling.
