RESUMEN
There have been truly incredible strides in the standard of burn care. The mortality from burn injuries has more than halved since the 1950s, making it hugely unique among major diseases of the developed world. There can be no doubt technology and technological advances have driven this process, dramatically improved every aspect of burn care, from the intensive care management, the surgical management, management of the healing wound to the post burn sequelae, specifically scar management. This review aims to identify key technological advances in burns, in both the developed and developing world, and evaluate their influence in the continued strategy to improve the standards of global burn care.
