Cover Story: Management of medium-size partial thickness injuries in paediatric burns is evolving with advancements in acute burn wound care. The BRACS pilot randomised controlled trial assessed the efficacy of silver, biological, or silicone-based dressings on burn wound re-epithelialisation in children. In a cohort of twenty-two patients, the application of a Regenerative Epidermal Suspension (RES™) onto acute partial thickness burns showed potential benefits including expedited re-epithelialisation, fewer adverse events, the least impact on scar-specific health-related quality of life, and the lowest health resource utilisation. However, a fully powered randomised control trial is needed to better understand these findings and the potential benefits of RES™ for the management of paediatric partial thickness burns.
