Brief Summary:
This study plans to look at the benefits of banana leaves as a primary burn wound dressing. Study patients will be compared to historical patients
Detailed Description:
Historically, banana leaves have been used as a burn wound dressing in developing countries. Current literature on banana leaf dressings is limited to predominantly pediatric patients and surgical wounds (i.e. skin graft donor sites). The comparison dressing is often other non-standard burn dressings (e.g. boiled potato peel bandage) and these studies are almost exclusively performed in tropical locations where banana plants grow naturally (Africa and Asia). To date, no study on the effectiveness of banana leaf dressings has been done in the United States, nor has there been a focus on their effectiveness in second degree partial thickness burns. Our pilot study aims to establish the feasibility of using banana leaf dressings for second degree partial thickness burn wounds in adult patients, in a geographic location that does not support natural banana agriculture.
