Moist Exposed Burn Ointment ( MEBO ) in partial thickness burns - a randomized , comparative open mono-center study on the efficacy of dermaheal ( MEBO ) ointment on thermal 2nd degree burns compared to conventional therapy . OBJECTIVE Wound healing in burn wounds presents a challenge in healthcare , and there is still a lack of alternatives in topical burn wound treatments . - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new therapeutic ointment ( MEBO ) in the treatment of partial thickness burns . METHODS 40 patients received either topical treatment with Moist Exposed Burn Ointment ( MEBO ) or standard Flammazine treatment . All patients suffered from partial-thickness burn injuries ( < 20 % TBSA ) . Wounds were evaluated for 60 up to days regarding wound healing , water loss , inflammation , and pain alleviation . RESULTS For transepidermal water loss , there was a difference of 2.3 gr/m2/h between MEBO , and Flammazine , favoring MEBO . However , this difference was not statistically significant ( p=0.78 ) . For all secondary efficacy parameter results were similar . - CONCLUSIONS This study showed that MEBO ointment for topical treatment of burn injuries presents an attractive alternative for the topical treatment of limited partial thickness thermal burns .
