    The problem is you can only put a graft on over healthy subcutaneous tissue. There may be some areas like that, but some of these patients had 95% burns. So finding areas that could support a graft may be as difficult as finding skin that can be harvested for grafting.

    In the end, bodies have to heal themselves. Medical treatments facilitate the process, and can stop secondary injuries, but if the primary injury is too severe, the body simply doesn't have the resources to repair the damage, and those patients will die. That's just a fact. Even if the patients don't die immediately they are still vulnerable to secondary injuries like infections.

    Having said all that, I think BTM would be incredibly useful in covering severely burned areas, both as a method of encouraging early healing of subcutaneous tissue and forming a protective barrier. Its the ultimate test of the technology. I would be surprised if it doesn't get used as publication material.
