“We concluded that topical heparin use can enhance the healing of burn wounds and relieve the patient’s pain significantly in humans without any influence on clotting time. It also has a beneficial role to inhibit the formation of scar after wound healing.”

REDUCED COSTS USING HEPARIN TREATMENT

 

 
Use of heparin first, prior to surgery, has resulted in many humane benefits to patients, burn therapists, and relatives, at affordable costs in all the countries were it has been implemented, including developing ones, such as Haiti. (see Need for Heparin Therapy

When doctors both decide and provide the treatment that is best for burned patients, and receive the much-deserved same honest fair payment, independent of the method or combination of medical and surgical procedures utilized, the cost of treating patients is much reduced and sustainable by all involved. Everyone involved benefits under these medically-proper and ethically-correct conditions - patients, therapists, relatives, and the fiscal entity paying the costs. Indications from worldwide experience are that costs may be reduced by up to 90%.

Governments, insurance companies and health maintenance organizations must realize, and doctors must insist that these fiscal entities need to pay burn therapists an adequate sum of money commensurate with the inherent difficulty of treating burns, regardless of the method or methods utilized, with the patient’s benefit the only ethical consideration. The cost to the paying entity will then be considerably less, even greatly less.
