title: [Comparison of irradiated porcine skin with exposure or occlusive method in the care of second degree burn wounds].
abstract: This article compared irradiated porcine skin with exposure and occlusive method in the care of second degree burn wounds. In 30 patients in whom irradiated porcine skin (IPS) was used, no wound infection occurred. The rate of wound infection, in patients on whom herb medicine and exposure method were used, was 19% (7/37), and that of occlusive dressing plus drug group was 22% (2/9). The rate of wound infection of IPS was significantly lower than the other two groups (P < 0.05). The time of wound healing in IPS group was 13.5 + 5.03 days; it was significantly shorter than the other two groups.
