“…This result is in accordance with Gupta RL. 8 In my study, infection was present in 8.3% of the patients (5/60), which indicates lower rate of infection with collagen dressing. None of the cases showed any adverse reaction to the collagen, proving its safety as a biological dressing.…”

Introduction: Burn injuries are very painful conditions which usually heal slowly and that too with scarring. They are common entities encountered in our daily clinical practice. Dressings play a vital role in the management of burn wounds. As burn injuries are common in developing countries, there is an urgent need for a method by which these injuries heal early with less pain, discomfort, and scarring. Current research aimed to study the effectiveness of collagen dressing in partial thickness burns by means of pain score, infection rate, the rate of healing, resultant scar and patient compliance.Material and methods: : A total of 60 patients with partial thickness burn wounds were included in this study and were applied collagen dressing. The variables analyzed were pain score, infection rate, the rate of healing of the wound, resultant scar, and patient compliance.Results: 34 males and 26 females, infection was present in 8.3% of the patients (5/60), the average pain score in the range of 0 to 10 was 2.85, healing was achieved on an average of 11.57days, 100% of patients in collagen dressing had good scars, patient compliance in the collagen dressing was good about 96.7%, none of the cases showed any adverse reaction to the collagen. Conclusion:Collagen sheet promotes early healing, decreases the need for analgesics, reduces the incidence of associated complications like infection. The morbidity of the patients is reduced as the resultant scar is better in the majority of the patients using collagen. Because of the simple application and good tolerance of the membrane, collagen can be advocated as a temporary biological dressing material in partial thickness burns.

“…The importance of collagen in healing has been appreciated for many years for the simple reason that the end result of wound healing is always a scar which is composed of collagenous fibres. 5 Collagen dressings have other advantages over conventional dressings in terms of ease of application and being natural, non-immunogenic, non-pyrogenic, hypoallergenic, and pain-free. 6…”

Background: Occurrence, pathophysiology and management of burns is complex. It is a painful condition and topical management of burns is a challenging task. An ideal topical dressing which allows faster healing with reduction of pain, prevent infection, leads to a good scar formation and which is cost effective is required. Thus, there is a need to study the effectiveness of collagen dressing in comparison with conventional silver sulphadiazine dressing (SSD) in terms of pain score, healing time and cost efficiency.Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study includes patients with partial thickness burns, <40% BSA and not older than 48 hours, admitted to department of surgery of RL Jalappa hospital and research centre Tamaka Kolar during the period December 2019 to March 2020. 34 patients were studied, these patients were randomized into collagen dressing or silver sulphadiazine dressing group of 17 each.Results: The 34 patients admitted with partial thickness burns, <40% BSA were divided into two equal and comparable groups. Patients subjected to collagen dressings were classified under group I and those who underwent 1% silver sulphadiazine dressings were classified as group II.Conclusions: The collagen dressing is more cost effective than SSD. SSD has disadvantage of the large number of dressings prolonged hospital stay, amount pain, loss of time and labour of the patient and the accompanying person which make collagen dressing more cost effective as it is most of the time a single dressing.
