BURN CARE: USING BIOLOGICAL SKIN SUBSTITUTES

Course overview

In patients with deep partial-thickness (2nd degree) and full-thickness (3rd degree) burns, the gold standard skin cover is an autograft, which involves grafting the patient¿s own uninjured skin to the burned area. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of BSSs and their use in patients with burns. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
