[The treatment of the burned hand in massive trauma in a glove with an ointment with a water-soluble base].

A new for Bulgaria method of treatment of hand burns by use of glove filled with ointment on water-soluble base is reported. The method is no alternative to the conventional method of treatment with dressings, but its advantages are that the patients are attended for a shorter time with less dressing material and may be self-served. This makes the method particularly useful for treatment of mass thermic injuries. Ointments on water-soluble base, which have such qualities as high osmotic activity, necrolytic action and high antiseptic effect, are used.
