Comparison of Mepitel Ag vs Antibiotic Ointment Used With Soft Cast Technique for Treatment of Pediatric Burns

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Burns

In brief

The aim of this study is to compare Mepitel Ag to Triple antibiotic ointment impregnated Adaptic gauze when used with the soft cast technique to assess overall time to healing, yeast infection rate and parents perception of pain level at time of dressing change on a scale of 1-10. The hypothesis is that Mepitel Ag in combination with the soft cast technique improves wound healing in pediatric partial to deep partial thickness hand and foot burns by decreasing the length of healing time, decreasing the risk of yeast infection, and decreasing pain associated with dressing changes.
