Viability of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) skin as a biological dressing in the treatment of burns: Literature review

The use of biological occlusive dressings should prevent hydroelectrolytic losses, prevent bacterial contamination, promote epithelization or assist in the formation of granulation tissue for grafting. Recent studies point to the use of biological dressing based on aquatic animals as biomaterial in...

Sumario:The use of biological occlusive dressings should prevent hydroelectrolytic losses, prevent bacterial contamination, promote epithelization or assist in the formation of granulation tissue for grafting. Recent studies point to the use of biological dressing based on aquatic animals as biomaterial in regenerative medicine. It is reviewed the state of the art of using Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) as a biological dressing in the treatment of burns. Comparative researches between human skin and Nile Tilapia show favorable results regarding histological, histochemical, tensiometric and handling properties related to the characteristics of this material.
