Burn Wounds
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators intend to conduct a comparative, monocentric prospective double-blind study with intra-subject randomization, to compare the results on wound healing of 2 adjuvant treatments to Meek micrografting technique : Cultured Epidermal Autografts and cryopreserved skin allografts.
Detailed description
10 patients presenting burn wounds over 50% of total body surface area, including at least 40 % of deep burns, will be enrolled.
