MEBO to Skin
Grafted Wound is convenient
Fire
burn is a kind of frequent trauma encountered
in
common life and war.
All kinds of changes may happen at the burn wound
and the systemic system may be affected and even the
patients’
life was threatened. The key point in treating fire burn is the proper
treatment of the burn wound and the quick healing of the tissues.
10 patients with deep second degree and third degree burns with burned
area of 5 to 23% TBSA were treated. Escharotomy was performed on the
fifth day after burn and followed by skin grafting. After operation,
the wounds were bandaged with sterile dressing for 48 hours. Then the
dressing was removed and MEBO was applied 3 to 4 times a day.
The space
between flaps healed quickly. The tissue scar reaction was markedly
alleviated. The healing period had been shortened by 7 to 10 days as
compared with the conventional therapy.
MEBO can
promote the local blood stream and lighten the inflammatory
reaction and edema of tissues so that it can speed the
healing of
tissues. The moist environment of skin graft and burn wound is retained
after the application of MEBO and the circulation of the burn wound is
promoted and it’s favorable for the reparation of burn wound.
A layer of protective membrane forms on the burn wound after the
application of MEBO and the pollution to the burn wound is lightened.
The metabolic product in the tissues can drain with the medicine out of
the burn wound under the liquefaction function of the medicine.
It’s favorable for the growth of granulation tissues and the
extention and reparation of the marginal epidermis.
MEBO can
control the growth fraction of fibrous tissue and
endepidermis.
It can restrain the synthesization of
collagenous fibers
and promote the reparation of endepidermis. The hair follicle and the
endepidermis of the glandular organ on the burn wound grow to the
surface gradually so endepidermis will form. The thickness of
endepidermis increases until the cuticular tissue forms and this will
alleviate the scars formation on the burn wound.
MEBO can relax
the arrectores muscle of hair and
relieve
the spasm of the arrectores muscle of hair.
The drug layer can restrain
the stimulation to the pain nerve ending so as to kill pain.
The method of small skin transplantation is simple and the required
condition of the reception is low. The survival rate of skin graft is
high and can save auto skin.
The application of MEBO is convenient. MEBO can be spread onto the burn
wound directly without special treatment and so it’s easy to
be
popularized.
