Pain Associated with partial thickness burns (PTB) is very severe and distressing for the
patients.Topical conventional treatment of superficial PTB wounds includes application of
polyfax skin ointment plus lignocain gel twice a day after wound wash while deep PTB are
treated with silvazine cream twice a day and prepared for grafting if not healed within 3
weeks. Existing conventional therapy is un-comfortable and expensive for the patients. Search
continues for a reliable, safe, cheap and effective treatment of burn.Topical use of heparin
has been found effective in reducing pain associated with burn wounds. More over use of
heparin topically in burn patients is easy to perform and cheap but at the moment, evidence
of its effectiveness is weak. Current study is being conducted to verify clinical
effectiveness of use of heparin in 2nd degree burns by comparing it with topical conventional
treatment.
