Abstract
0305-4179/$36.00 # 2010 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.burns.2010.05.007 challenges in modern burn care [1–3]. The heavy fluid output overwhelm most conventional dressings resulting in contamination and increased infection rates [4]. We describe the total body wrap concept: a dressing method that employs multiple VAC (vacuum assisted closure) devices to maintain a clean moist wound environment to enhance graft take while facilitating accurate exudate charting and graft visualisation. Small sponges acting as wicks are placed in dependent areas instead of using large sponges covering the entire wound.
