[Application of carbon fiber dressing on burn wounds].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effects of carbon fiber dressing on burn wounds.


METHODS
Two hundreds and seventy seven burn patients were randomly divided into treatment group (group T) and control group (group C). The burn wounds were covered with carbon fiber dressing in T group, and with povidone iodine gauze in C group, respectively. The absorption capability of the dressing, inflammatory reaction and bacteria quantitation of wound tissues and wound healing time were observed, and biopsy of wounds were performed.


RESULTS
The absorption capability of the dressing was higher, the wound inflammatory reaction was milder, and bacteria quantitation of wound tissues was lower in the group T than that in group C. The wound healing time in the group T was shorter than that in group C.


CONCLUSIONS
Carbon fiber dressing is a new model dressing, it can absorb wound exudation, lessen inflammatory reaction and improve wound healing.
