Evaluation of a Management Strategy for Second-degree Fibrinous Burns Integrating a Poly-absorbent Dressing: a Prospective, Controlled, Open, Randomized Multicentre Study

The management of the local treatment of second-degree burns has an influence on the healing time and thus on the quality of the healing process. Fibrin detersion optimizes epidermization and may reduce the need for skin grafting for moderate fibrinous burns. Optimal treatment at this stage is therefore crucial. Since 1968, silver sulphadiazine ointment dressings have been used in the management of burns to minimize the risk of infection. A recent review of the literature suggests that the use of alternative dressings to silver sulphadiazine ointment, from day 3/4, would have a benefit on wound healing, but highlights the insufficient level of evidence in current studies. This probably explains why the prolonged use of silver sulphadiazine dressings remains the rule in the majority of French centres. In the burns department of Hopital Edouard Herriot, PLASTENAN® ointment was used as a relay to silver sulphadiazine after one week of care to promote the detersion of second-degree fibrinous burns. Following the end of its commercialization in 2014, our nursing team wondered whether an ointment or an equivalent dressing was available. A clinical study on URGOCLEAN® dressing was conducted by another team from our university hospital on the detersion of vascular wounds. Given its positive results,the investigator tested its effectiveness on fibrinous burns. A cohort of 70 patients (2014-2018) was thus set up by our nursing team: this dressing used in fibrinous burns showed a low use of skin grafts (2/70), a median healing time of 20 days and an improvement in the quality of the scar. In 2013, a systematic review by the Cochrane compared seven types of dressings for the treatment of superficial and intermediate burns, but the URGOCLEAN® dressing, marketed in 2013, was not included. Considering these findings, the investigator would like to set up a randomized trial to evaluate a strategy integrating the URGOCLEAN® dressing in the management of second-degree fibrinous burns.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients with a skin graft performed before D21
Time Frame: At day 21
The number of patients with a skin graft performed before D21 will be calculated. In case the graft is indicated but the patient refuses it, he will be counted as having had a graft.
At day 21

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of the scar according to health professional
Time Frame: at 1 month, at 3 months, at 6 months, at 12 months
The quality of the scar according to the professional will be assessed using the total POSAS (Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale ) score. Score from 7 (best score) to 70 (worst score)
