“…First experiences in the use of the Versajet TM tool in burn surgery were published since 2005. 5,9,13 The water jet allows a precise debridement of thermal damaged tissue. In comparison with conventional techniques with fixed settings, the Versajet TM system allows fine adjustments and protects vital tissue.…”

The skin plays an important role in the human immune system, working as a barrier to pathologic influences. A chronic wound breaks that barrier and eliminates that function. Affected patients can suffer from significant reductions in quality of life and become socially isolated. The inability to work may have serious economic consequences for the individual and the community. Treating these wounds with novel, evidence-based techniques can accelerate wound healing while reducing the length of in- and outpatient treatment and thereby the overall costs. This article discusses current and future treatment options in wound conditioning, therapy, and regeneration.

“…The Versajet, a new apparatus for more precise debridement of deep 2 nd degree burns, has already made its entry into some Belgian centres (13,14). Avulsion, or the complete removal of the entire epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layer, is rarely indicated, because of the unacceptable aesthetic outcome and the extensive loss of healthy tissue.…”

Abstract. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the 'Belgian Association of Burn Injuries' an inventory was made of all surgical techniques used in the five largest Belgian burn centres in order to draw up a consensus document. A questionnaire covering the whole treatment of severely burned patients was sent to the surgeons of each burn unit, ranging from emergency treatment, through diagnostic techniques, burn surgery and post-healing treatment (scars, contractures). During the past decade, several (often expensive) new techniques have been commercialised, resulting in a wide variety of treatment modalities in the different centres. For the majority of burns, however, a similar protocol is followed : the superficial burns are treated conservatively and the deep burns surgically. Nevertheless, burns of indeterminate depth are susceptible to variations in their treatment. There are also different therapeutic options for the deepest burns, from the use of donor skin to dermal substitutes as well as cultured keratinocytes. The writing of this consensus required intense communication on the different therapeutic modalities, as well as an increased exchange of experiences, which could lead to an improvement in the quality of burn treatment in Belgium.
