The treatment is โspray-onโ skin, created with a postage stamp-sized piece of the patientโs own skin.
It is placed in a battery-powered device the size of a lunchbox in a special solution containing enzymes that make the cells proliferate โ within half an hour this creates enough โspray-onโ skin to cover an adult male torso.
The technology can help burns victims heal without painful skin grafts and without unsightly and uncomfortable scars.
However, itโs not widely available on the NHS.
