Clinical evaluation of the use of Op-Site gloves for the treatment of partial thickness burns of the hand.
Twenty-five patients with partial thickness burns of the hand were treated with Op-Site gloves in order to assess the clinical effectiveness of the treatment in promoting healing, and to assess the acceptability of the gloves to patients and to medical and nursing staff. The Op-Site gloves were found to be at least as effective as conventional treatments in promoting healing, and very acceptable to patients and to medical and nursing staff.
