Pediatric Wounds/Epidermolysis bullosa

One of the most rewarding aspects of wound care has been the care of children with complex wounds whether due to trauma or congenital disorders of the skin. We have partnered with the Shiners Hospital in Erie to provide the most advanced wound care to our pediatric patients. The case examples below illustrate some of the challenges we have overcome in this population.

Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of rare disorders of the skin in which the epidermis is not properly attached to the dermis. Children with this condition develop serious wounds after minimal trauma.

We have applied bioengineered skin and tried silver containing garments. Currently we are testing a new growth factor in patients with EB at our Erie clinic.
