    Abstract Recently, electrospinning technology has gained increasing attention for wound care. SpinCare™ electrospun polymer nanofibrous temporary epidermal layer is one of the latest developments in the market. Our objective was to explore the potential use of the new SpinCare™ system for treating burns and wounds. We conducted a single-center prospective observational trial, treating 10 patients with superficial to partial thickness wounds including burn wounds with a nanofibrous dressing. Treatment was evaluated, including procedures, place of injury, treatment times, ease of use etc. Ten superficial to deep dermal wounds were treated successfully. Inexperienced users learned the handling of the device quickly. Covering difficult-to-access wound surfaces was challenging. One leading problem is that the product is nearly opaque once applied on the moist wound. We introduced a standardized 3-day treatment protocol. After application, wounds were covered with a silicon layer for 2 days. The nanofibrous dressing appeared to be suitable following enzymatic debridement in burn wounds. Because there is a risk of wounds drying out under the dressing, the application should probably be limited to superficial and partial thickness wounds if not combined with other treatment options. The electrospun polymer nanofibrous temporary epidermal layer shows promising results in the treatment of superficial to partial thickness wounds including burns. However, minor improvements might help to optimize its usage and thus take full advantage of all existing treatment options.

    Abstract Recent research found that enzymatic debridement clearly improves long-term scarring in burns. By reducing the spontaneous wound-healing period, scarring might be optimized. The latest publications show that wound healing can be accelerated by the application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). However to date no study that evaluates PRF treatment in burn wounds following enzymatic debridement has been published. We conducted a single-center prospective observational trial treating ten patients with partial thickness to deep dermal burns after enzymatic debridement with PRF. After wound treatment, the dressing remained untouched for five days. For wound healing, we compared different dressings and treatment options. Minimum pain and no signs of infection were observed during any of the treatments. Physicians were able to learn the manufacture of PRF quickly. For two early treatments, skin grafting was required. In one case, the dressing was removed too early. In a second case, the wait for spontaneous wound healing was not long enough. After a standardized treatment procedure was set, we found that results were clearly improving. Mean healing time of seven wounds treated with Suprathel® dressing was 18 days (min 9 days, max 21 days). PRF application might be useful to reduce healing time in partial thickness to deep dermal burn wounds that heal spontaneously after enzymatic debridement. Thus, scarring can be improved.
