title: An experimental model to produce partial thickness burn wound.
abstract: Simple burn wound models are always warranted. In view of this a partial thickness reproducible 2 degrees C burn wound has been produced using hot molten wax. This model is simple, convenient, and could be used to monitor wound contraction and epithelization in burn wounds.
