Summary

Aim
To compare the acute healing outcomes of Biobrane® and Epiprotect® in paediatric partial thickness (PT) burns.

Methods
All paediatric patients (age <18 years) with PT burns managed using either Biobrane® or Epiprotect® over a 5-year period at our burns unit were included. The primary outcome was time to complete healing. Secondary outcomes included adherence, infection rates, length of hospital stay, duration of acute follow-up and return to the theatre.
