Treatment of deep burns with human fetal tissues

Abstract

Treatment of third (AB) degree bums by applying a suspension prepared from human placenta and fetal skin proves as effective as plastic surgery. This approach is particularly helpful when supplies of donor skin are limited, in the therapy of patients with polyvalent allergy, elderly and senile patients with a severe somatic pathology hampering autodermaplasty, in the therapy of children, and in cases of untreatable infected burns.
