Comparison of Amniotic Membrane Dressing and Aquacel®Ag in Second-degree Burns
Sponsor: Patel Hospital, Pakistan
Summary
To compare the outcome of amniotic membrane dressing versus Aquacel® Ag dressing with respect to the duration of healing in patients with second-degree burns within the local demographic setting. This study aims to address the existing gap in the literature by comparing the efficacy of amniotic membrane dressing and Aquacel® Ag dressing in the management of second-degree burns. Although Aquacel® Ag has been extensively studied for partial-thickness burns, it has not been directly compared with human amniotic membrane dressing, and no randomized controlled trial has yet evaluated these two treatment modalities. The findings of this study are expected to provide healthcare providers with an effective and cost-efficient dressing option for burn patients, particularly in resource-limited countries, while minimizing morbidity.
