Abstract
Due to extraordinary advances concerning the understanding of cellular and molecular processes in wound healing, wound care innovations and new developments concerning burn care have been made; burn care has improved to the extent that persons with burns frequently can survive. The trend in current treatment extends beyond the preservation of life; the ultimate goal is the return of burn victims, as full participants, back into their social and business life [1, 2].
