ABSTRACT
AIMS: To facilitate the use of Biobrane for those burn care practitioners not familiar with this material. METHODS: Two techniques have been developed through extensive use of Biobrane over many years, in both sheet and glove form. These techniques have been described and illustrated with photographs. RESULTS: The use of these techniques has allowed the corresponding author to markedly reduce operating time and to easily apply the material single-handedly. CONCLUSION: Biobrane is a biosynthetic skin substitute primarily designed for the definitive treatment of superficial partial-thickness to mid-dermal burn injury. Once experienced with its use, the material is quite ubiquitous. The described techniques will facilitate the use of Biobrane for those not familiar with it.
