Abstract
In a specialized burn medical clinic are healed cover skin defects after burns, scalding, electric shock burns, trophic defects and mechanical traumatic skin decollement. According to the depth of affection we classify these injuries of I., II.A, II.B and III. level.
To cover the wound defect, whether acute or chronic, there are in these days on the market many different synthetic and biological covers. Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymers, which react with water solutions, absorb and store water in their structures.
Hydrogel covers can be divided into surface covers (Aqua gel), covers the textile medium (Viacell, Intrasite) and covers in a tube (Flamigel, Nu-Gel). In this study, we focused on our experience with a cover of Viacell.
