L-Mesitran Soft an Effective Alternative for a Dog With Extensive Partial and Full Thickness Skin Burn

Maastricht, Netherlands, February 23, 2016 (Newswire.com) - A 9-year old mixed breed dog was admitted for the management of a partial thickness thermal burn that was covering 45% of his body including his back, both sides, abdomen and the inner sides of his behind legs. L-Mesitran Soft was applied to the burn area on a daily basis and dressed with absorbent pads resulting in complete healing by contraction and epithelialisation 35 days after initial admission.

One year after admission, the dog showed no restriction of movement or any other complications related to healing. L-Mesitran Soft may provide an alternative to more expensive topical or systemic wound medications for the management of extensive burns. L-Mesitran Soft seems to aid in speeding up granulation tissue formation and reducing second intention healing time in dogs with extensive thermal skin burns.
