Popis: Critical to the success of modern burn care is the management of the burn wound. Timely and complete removal of nonviable tissue is complicated by the irreplaceable nature of the tissue lost either through the burn injury or as “collateral damage” as part of the treatment. Challenges in distinguishing between viable and nonviable tissue and “replacing the irreplaceable” are discussed alongside potential disruptive technologies which could fundamentally change how burn care is delivered. Advances in burn wound bed management forms the foundation on which the goal of zero preventable death and disability after burn injury can be achieved.
