Objective: Accelerating the process of wound healing, reducing infection risks, and decreasing pain and discomfort in the burn area are important goals of burn treatment. To achieve these goals, the use of biosynthetic wound dressings has increased in recent years. Suprathel (PolyMedics Innovations, Germany) is a biosynthetic wound dressing used to treat both partial-thickness burns and split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites, full-thickness wounds, large-scale abrasions, and scar revisions. Method: This study is a systematic review of empirical evidence reported on the application of the biosynthetic wound dressing in burns up to 2017. Keywords such as ‘Suprathel’, ‘effectiveness’, ‘safety’, and ‘cost’ were searched in PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus and Embase databases. Results: A total of 14 publications were identified, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings reported in the literature reviewed were classified in terms of safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of use of the biosynthetic wound dressing. Regarding safety and effectiveness, the dressing was found to yield desirable results, particularly for partial thickness burns and STSG donor sites. As of 2017 no health economics assessments have been carried out. Conclusion: Despite the desirable advantages of the biosynthetic wound dressing with respect to its effectiveness, safety and ease of use, its major limitation was found to be its cost. However, in the absence of comprehensive studies on the quantification of all factors, there is scant scientific evidence for making reliable conclusions from this systematic review.
