The use of physical hydrogels of chitosan for skin regeneration following third-degree burns

TLDR
The aim of the study was at assessing whether this material was totally accepted by the host organism and allowed in vivo skin reconstruction of limited area third-degree burns and showed that chitosan materials were well tolerated and promoted a good tissue regeneration.
