Abstract
In Mexico a biological dressing was developed based on the culture of human keratinocytes in vitro. As a result, these procedures allow the expansion of keratinocytes in approximately 10,000 times their initial number, used in the treatment to cover the areas affected by burns, being a more important factor in obtaining this adequate result in the healing with its respective advantages both in social and economic terms.
