The Biobrane Wound Glove is a temporary biosynthetic wound dressing specifically designed for hand applications, particularly partial-thickness burn wounds of the hand.

 

When used in conjunction with Versajet the traditional window of use can be extended beyond 24 hours

 

Good adherence

• A nontoxic mixture of highly purified peptides derived from porcine dermal collagen has been bonded to the nylon/silicone membrane to provide a highly flexible and conformable composite dressing with adherence properties and a hydrophilic, biocompatible surface.
• Initial adherence results from the fibrin on the clean wound surface preferentially bonding to the collagen surface of the dressing.

 

Reduces water vapour loss

• The silicone outer layer acts like a protective epidermal barrier and reduces the water loss from the wound which is essential to avoid wound desiccation

 

Reduces pain

• The adherence reduces pain and allows patients an early free movement.
• Allows some water vapour permeability which is beneficial in preventing excess fluid accumulation

 

Flexible

• Biobrane stretches to move with the patient

 

 

Key benefits to burn wound care:

• Not more expensive when compared with inexpensive and commonly used standard dressings
• Transparency permits direct wound inspection
• Reduces length of hospital stay for patients with superficial partial thickness burnscompared with standard care

 

Indications:

• Superficial to mid-partial thickness burns (once debrided of non-viable tissue)
• Excised burn wound with or without meshed autografts (need viable bed)
• Donor sites
