Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Burn wounds with flux values, measured by Laser Doppler Imaging, corresponding with expected healing time between 7 and 21 days, flux values between 200 and 1000 (red-pink or pink-yellow-green colour)
* Wounds treated with a hydrocolloid paste prior to LDI
* Possibility to follow the complete treatment schedule until wound healing and participation on complete follow-up schedule
* Informed consent
* Partial thickness burns with TBSE \< 40%

Exclusion Criteria

* Mean flux values \< 200 or \> 1000
* TBSA \> 40%
* Impossibility to debride necrotic skin prior to LDI measurement
* Wounds treated with any topical ointments or dressings other than hydrocolloid prior to LDI
* Not following the complete treatment schedule or missing some evaluations during the follow-up period
* Patient has any condition that seriously compromises the patient's ability to complete the study
* Patient has participated in another study using an investigational drug within the previous 30 days
* Patient has one or more medical condition(s)that in the opinion of the investigator would make the patient an inappropriate candidate for this study
* The plastic surgeon decides that surgery is necessary due to unusual circumstances
* Patient wish to decline from the study
* No informed consent
* Full thickness burns
