Abstract: | The technique of graft fixation with Hypafix was introduced in 1986 and has since been adapted for use in all sites to become the standard technique in the management of paediatric burns at the Women's and Children's Hospital Burn Unit. The technique is versatile, safe, simple, reliable and inexpensive, and has proven to be effective in over 700 burn patients, with 18 patients (2%) requiring repeat grafts. The patient's care is continued in a designated Burn Scar Assessment Clinic with a range of 'contact media', including Hypafix, Elastofix, silicone gel and Elastomer products, being applied as necessary. |
