Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Local therapy of grade IIa burns: efficacy and tolerability of a new hydrosome wound gel for the local treatment of grade IIa burns as compared with silver sulfadiazine ointment].
A new hydrosome wound gel is based on a new mechanism of action. It contains hydrosomes that penetrate to the wound bed and supply the wound with phospholipids, which are identical to membrane phospholipids of human cells. In this manner it supports the proliferative processes during wound healing. ⋯ In this study, the treatment of grade IIa burn wounds with hydrosome wound gel led to faster wound closure compared with treatment with sulfadiazine cream. Therefore, hydrosome gel represents a good alternative to sulfadiazine cream.
