Burn Coverage of Burn by Tilapia Fish Skin

Completed
Conditions
Tilapia Fish Skin in Burn Coverage
Interventions
Procedure: TFS
Registration Number
NCT06549569
Lead Sponsor
Aswan University
Brief Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to compare TFS and regular dressings as coverage for acute thermal burns. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is TFS effective in treating thermal burns? burn induction was done on rabbits to obtain second-degree thermal burn, followed by coverage with TFS

Detailed Description

Nile Tilapia Fish Skin (NTFS) has been suggested as an option for biological material for the management of burns. Nile Tilapia Fish Skin also presented a large composition of type I collagen, morphology similar to human skin and high resistance and tensile extension at the break. We chose Baladi rabbits for their relatively ease of handling, accommodation and resistance to surgical aggressions and infectious processes, with low mortality. However, the choice of male rabbits is due to variations in hormonal cycles in females that could intervene in the process of tissue repair.

This experimental model was established to evaluate healing process and outcome results after application of Tilapia Fish Skin on acute contact thermal that was done in order to obtain injuries with the same size and depth.
