Wound contact layers: The unsung heroes of burn care when utilising negative pressure wound therapy
For deep dermal burns, a combination of excision and grafting is generally preferred (Orgill, 2009). Patients with deep dermal burns often suffer from pain and anxiety, hence optimal dressing selection for both graft and donor sites is key.

Donor site wounds can be challenging as these newly created wounds are likely to cause additional pain and/or scarring to the patient. Selecting a suitable dressing for donor site wounds is essential for their management.
