title: The use of Silflex in burn wound management.
abstract: This article presents three case studies looking at the effective use of an atraumatic wound dressing: Silflex (Advancis Medical). Pain is known to be very debilitating in patients with burns and frequent dressing changes can pose a painful problem. The case studies, presented here, support the view that Silflex, a silicone-based conformable dressing, is a useful adjunct when treating superficial burns.
