The advantage of using amniotic membrane
as biological dressing helps to reduce the pain
and distress associated with conventional
daily burn wound dressing. Furthermore,
hospital stay is shortened. These are
particularly valuable in paediatric burn
patients.

is applied on a
patient who
sustained chemical
facial burn.
A child who had
