Application of Integra® in Pediatric Burns

Treatment of burn wounds has always proved challenging in the pediatric population. When treating large surface area or complex burn wounds, pediatric patients frequently have limited area of graft donor sites [1]. Infants often have skin too thin to be harvested for skin grafting and to provide adequate coverage for reconstruction. Burn scars repeatedly become hypertrophic and are hard to treat. When they are treated successfully, recurrence rates are high.
