Oedema measurements in a standard burn model.
A highly standardized, reproducible burn model on rat hind paw as well as a method to measure oedema volume non-invasively is described. Along with a review of the literature on earlier methods to measure post-burn oedema we present a statistical evaluation of the present model with notes on its applicability in various experimental settings.
