OBJECTIVE: A prospective, randomized, controlled single center study was designed to evaluate clinical efficacy of a @entity25107 containing bio-cellulose dressing (group B) compared to a @entity1217 cream (group A) in sixty partial-thickness burn @entity1 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Local ethics committee approval was obtained and @entity1 consented. Parameters were: @entity158 reduction (VAS), healing time and wound bed condition, comparing day 0 (start) versus day 14 (end), as well as, ease of dressing use and treatment costs. RESULTS: All completed the study (n=30/n=30) and were included in the ITT analysis, with a total of 72 burns (group A: n=38, group B: n=34). We noted no differences in healing time. @entity158 reduction was significantly faster and better in group B (p<0.01). There were fewer dressing changes in group B, compared to group A. Ease of use for the bio-cellulose dressing was rated better compared to group A. In group B,     95.20 was saved for a 10 day treatment period, compared to group A. CONCLUSION: Group B demonstrated a better and faster @entity158 reduction in the treated @entity121 , compared to group A. The results indicate the @entity25107 containing bio-cellulose dressing to be a safe and cost effective treatment for @entity121 .
