One of the more important properties of a burn dressing is its ability to control fluid balance. This can be achieved by absorption and/or water vapour transmission. Unfortunately, the rate of fluid loss from a burn wound has not been thoroughly investigated, therefore 'ideal' quantitative values for dressing absorption and water vapour transmission have not been defined. However, when the data that is available regarding fluid loss from burn wounds is analysed, valuable information about dressings can be obtained which should benefit dressing design.
烧伤敷料的一个更重要特性是其控制液体平衡的能力。这可以通过吸收和/或水蒸气传输来实现。不幸的是，烧伤创面的液体流失速率尚未得到充分研究，因此尚未确定敷料吸收和水蒸气传输的“理想”定量值。然而，当分析现有的关于烧伤创面液体流失的数据时，可以获得有关敷料的有价值信息，这应该有助于敷料设计。
