AbstractIn an experiment on rats, a partial thickness burn wound 20 mm in diameter was produced on the dorsum. Half the wound area was left untreated, the other half painted with elastic collodion. Examination on the 10th day following the intervention confirmed that prevention of dehydration can save a good proportion of thermally damaged tissue. It was also shown that prevention of dehydration results in a marked delay in wound healing.
