Early wound closure is the ultimate goal of burn care. While excisional therapy is necessary in the treatment of both large, full-thickness and deep, partial skin-thickness burns, the majority of burns are superficial partial skin-thickness injuries requiring a different clinical approach. In superficial wounds, cosmetic and functional restoration in conjunction with relief from pain and prevention of infection is as important as rapid wound closure. The moist wound healing associated with hydrocolloid dressings may provide an alternative treatment modality for certain partial-thickness injuries. In comparable wounds, these dressings produce good functional and cosmetic results, rapid reepithelialization, and improved patient comfort.
