Using Fish Skin for Partial Thickness Burns Treatment
A 23-year-old male patient, with no comorbidities, arrived at a burn treatment center in Fortaleza, Brazil after a thermal injury caused by contact with flames from a gunpowder explosion. Prior to its use in the patient, the skin was washed in sterile 0.9% saline for 5 minutes, with this process being repeated three times in a row. Coverage of at least 1 cm of healthy skin in the borders of the wound and superposition of at least 1 cm between NTFS pieces are needed, both to ensure that eventual movement in the first days of treatment will not lead to uncovering of any area of the burn. Due to the still experimental nature of the treatment with NTFS, the researchers decided to apply silver sulfadiazine cream 1%, still used as standard treatment by almost all Brazilian burn centers, to the rest of the burned areas. Finally, firm coverage of the wounds with gauze and bandage was performed. On the 12th day of treatment, NTFS had a dried and hardened appearance and started to slough off from the patient’s right upper limb. Thus, the researchers decided to remove NTFS in the area. The patient’s limb was placed under a shower and the wound was soaked with water. The hydration process led to weakening, breaking and slippage of the NTFS, with exposure of the underlying healed skin. On the 17th day of treatment, a similar process was performed, allowing NTFS removal from the left upper limb. No side effects were noted.  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Using Fish Skin for Partial Thickness Burns Treatment
Great proof of concept, but will it work on a larger scale?

I don't think it matters how much the fish weighs, does it?
