Third-degree burn treatment with ultrashort pulse laser debridement

Abstract

Background: The burn is a tissue injury resulting from thermal, electrical, chemical or radioactive trauma. The treatment prognosis for burn victim requires knowledge of extension burned surface area, depth and location of lesion and/or chronic diseases and age of the patient. Significant improvements in burn treatments have reduced the mortality and morbidity related to burn injuries. Good burn care includes cleansing, debridement and prevention of sepsis. The aim of this study is to propose a debridement method with ultrashort pulses laser.
