Burn Recovery Optimization Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Project covers technology development, demonstration, and transition of burn recovery optimization technologies, including diagnostic technology to predict skin graft success or failure, technologies to measure and predict burn wound healing rate and assess burn treatment effectiveness, and novel dressings that protect severe burn wounds from further injury and prevent inflammation and infection until definitive surgical burn care is available. All research is conducted in compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for licensure of medical products for human use. Promising efforts identified through Applied Research conducted under PE 0602787A (Medical Technology) Project MM4 (Cbt Casualty Care Applied Rsch Technology) are further matured under this Project. Promising results identified under this Project are further matured under PE 0603807A (Medical Systems Advanced Development), Project 836 (Field Medical Systems Advanced Development). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. All FY20 adjustments align program resources to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Medical Research Development Command (USAMRDC), Fort Detrick, MD.
