Abstract

Extensive research is being carried out to replicate different aspects of burn injury, understand the unique pathophysiology as well as to develop novel treatment modalities for the burn wounds. Adequate research using different burn models thus play a major role in the development of novel treatments. One of the major constraints in burn animal model is a lack of reproducible burn inducing device which could be used for producing uniform burn wounds. Here we have developed simple, reproducible burn inducing device with temperature control for the creation of uniform burn wounds in animal models.

Keywords: Burn, burn inducing device, burn models, uniform burn wound
