Clinical Study of Effect of Collagen Dressing Versus Conventional Dressing in Partial Thickness Burns

Abstract Introduction: Burn injuries remain among the most traumatic and challenging forms of skin injury, particularly in pediatric and resource-limited settings. They lead to substantial morbidity and mortality, with a high burden of infection, delayed healing, and potential long-term disability due to scarring. Result: The mean age of participants in Group A was 21.4 ± 3.2 years, while that of Group B was 22.1 ± 2.8 years. In terms of gender distribution, Group A comprised 33 males (66%) and 17 females (34%), whereas Group B included 31 males (62%) and 19 females (38%). Discussion: This study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy, patient outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of collagen dressings versus conventional dressings in the management of partial-thickness burns. A total of 100 patients with partial thickness burns were included in the study, with 50 patients allocated to Group A (collagen dressing) and 50 patients to Group B (conventional dressing).
