Burn injury is one of the most common and devastating forms of trauma. In India, over 7 million people are affected by burn-related injuries every year, with 1.4 lakh mortality and 2.4 lakh morbidity. Clinical management of large 2 nd -degree and 3 rd -degree burns involves grafting of skin tissue, which is expensive in nature and beyond the reach of the common Indian population. In this project, we will clinically validate the in situ forming, directly deposited synthetic skin grafting patch covering the asymmetric large burn wound for skin tissue regeneration as an effective and affordable personalized burn wound care treatment.
