Background: Wound dressing aims are to create moist and warm condition to accelerate wound healing, decrease level of pain, collects of exudate, decrease the need of dressing changes, cost effectiveness and protection from bacterial contamination. Microbial cellulose creates a moist environment and strong adhesion to the wound to prevent bacterial contamination and protects from temperature changes. Meanwhile transparent film dressing has advantages such as easy to evaluate, rapid rate of epithelialization and provides high comfort for patients. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of microbial cellulose dressing compare to transparent film dressing as control, in the treatment of partial thickness burn. Method: We perform a single blind randomized clinical trial study. All patients with partial thickness burn with total body surface less than 20% area burns at any age presenting to our burn unit will be included in the study. They were dressed using microbial cellulose and transparent film as control. Result: The epithelialization rate of patients treated by microbial cellulose was significantly faster and less pain, especially in day 3 and 10 (p=0,000) than those treated with transparent dressing. This study showed patient using microbial cellulose no need to change dressing, meanwhile in transparent dressing it need 2 to 3 times dressing changes and costs more money. Conclusion: The use of microbial cellulose dressing is a versatile and effective dressing for partial thickness burns. This innovative material will be an alternative dressing in partial-thickness burn wounds.

Abstract Background: Burn injuries are one of the most common sources of trauma globally that comprise a significant drain on long-term personal and healthcare cost Large surface area burn wounds are difficult to manage and may result in significant physiologic and psychological sequelae. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Aloe Vera gel with 2%Nitrofurazone ointment in the healing of superficial partial thickness burns wounds. Methods: The present study was a split body controlled, randomized clinical trial. The sample was recruited from patients with superficial partial thickness burns wound who were prescribed to treat with 2% Nitrofurazone ointment. Thirty patients with at least two burn, each burn on an alternate side of the body, entered the study — samples allocated to two area which received Aloe Vera gel or 2% Nitrofurazone ointment on their burns. Bates-Jensen Wound. assessment tool (BWAT) was used to evaluate the healing of burns. the epithelialization parameter and sum score Bates-Jensen tools evaluated before, one, two and three weeks after the beginning of treatment. Results: The mean ± SD of epithelialization parameter in Aloe Vera area were 5.0±00.00, 4.0±46.57, 3.0±50.57, 2.0±56.62. The mean ± SD of epithelialization parameter in 2% Nitrofurazone ointment area were 5.0±00.00, 4.0±66.54, 3.0±76.50, 3.0±03.61.and The mean ± SD of BWAT scores in Aloe Vera area were 30.32 ± 3.28, 27.33 ± 3.38, 21.33 ± 3.13, 16.12 ± 2.16 respectively (F(2, 65.07) =440.00, p=0.001). The mean ± SD of BWAT scores in 2% Nitrofurazone ointment area were 30.51 ± 3.79, 28.45 ± 3.49, 23.36 ± 2.89, 19.23 ± 2.11 ( F(1, 52.00) =228.00, p=0.001).Conclusions: There is a significant difference in epithelialization parameter and (BWAT) scores between intervention and control area. Based on this study it looks like that aloe vera gel could promoted epithelialization and wound closure more effectively than 2% Nitrofurazone ointment

Background & Aim: Routine treatment of burn injuries is dressing with Nitrofurazone ointment. It has several complications, including sensitivity. Aloe Vera is a traditional treatment for wound healing.  This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Aloe Vera gel with Nitrofurazone ointment in the healing of superficial partial-thickness burns. Methods & Materials: The present study was a split body controlled clinical trial which was carried out on 30 patients with superficial partial-thickness burns. The study was conducted in the Shafa Hospital in Kerman, Iran, in 2016. The sample was recruited from patients who had at least two burns, each burn on an alternate side of the body. On their burns, samples were allocated to two groups that received Aloe Vera gel or 2% Nitrofurazone ointment. Bates-Jensen Wound assessment tool was used to evaluate the healing of burns. Statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS-16 and using the repeated measure ANOVA. Results: The repeated measure ANOVA showed that there was a significant change in the score of BWAT in all areas during the intervention period (p=0.001), but the trend of healing in the two groups during the intervention period was not significantly different (p=0.098). Conclusion: Based on this study, it looks like Aloe vera gel is as effective as 2% Nitrofurazone ointment in healing wounds.
