Burns

Burns are wounds caused by radiation or chemical exposure, electricity, friction, or exposure to extreme temperate due to fire, boiling liquids, even cold.

Burns are characterized by the degree of damage to the skin, with “1st degree” burn being the least severe and “4th degree” burns being the most severe. The term “degree” refers to the depth of the tissue damaged by the burn.

• 1st degree burns are the most superficial, affecting only the uppermost layer of skin.
• 2nd degree burns produce superficial blistering of the skin, and produce more or less pain depending on the level of nerve involvement.
• A 3rd degree burn produces charring, extreme damage to the skin and its underlayer (dermis), and scarring.
• A 4th degree burn completely penetrates the skin and damages deeper tissues such as muscles, tendons, bones, or other internal organs.

In addition to the degree of the burn, the amount of coverage over the body’s surface is used to describe the severity of the burn. It is possible that a 2nd degree burn to a small part of the body may have less severe consequences than a 1st degree burn over a large part of the body.

The amount of burn coverage is expressed as percent of the body. One percent of a person’s body is approximately the size of the victim’s palm. A woman with a sunburned back might be said to have a 1st (or 2nd) degree burn over 15-20% of her body.

Proven Treatment for Burns

The TRUHEAL Wound Program is a proven method for healing even severe non-healing or slow-healing burns in every care setting, including the home. The TRUHEAL Wound Program is the outcome of exhaustive research in wound care outcomes by Advanced Healing Institute.

TRUHEAL combines two breakthrough therapies with well-researched procedures to speed up the wound healing process, even when other treatments have failed. Innovative technologies include:

• TRUHEAL Electromagnetic Pulse Therapy (EMPT), a proprietary technology for directing a specific radio frequency signal to stimulate the proliferation of human fibroblast cells in chronic wounds.
• TRUHEAL Catalytic Nanosilver™ Solution, a revolutionary drug-free silver spray with a composition and method of action that makes it different than any other silver-based product.
