ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Wound healing in burn wounds presents a challenge in healthcare, and there is still a lack of alternatives in topical burn wound treatments. - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new therapeutic ointment (MEBO) in the treatment of partial thickness burns.METHODS:
40 patients received either topical treatment with Moist Exposed Burn Ointment (MEBO) or standard Flammazine treatment. All patients suffered from partial-thickness burn injuries (< 20% TBSA). Wounds were evaluated for 60 up to days regarding wound healing, water loss, inflammation, and pain alleviation.RESULTS:
For transepidermal water loss, there was a difference of 2.3 gr/m2/h between MEBO, and Flammazine, favoring MEBO. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.78). For all secondary efficacy parameter results were similar. -CONCLUSIONS:
This study showed that MEBO ointment for topical treatment of burn injuries presents an attractive alternative for the topical treatment of limited partial thickness thermal burns.
