The aim of the study is to compare results obtained with epidermal cell spray and classic skin grafting for epidermal replacement in acute burns
Comparing the impact in terms of cicatrisation duration and costs between 2 treatments of deep 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Determine if the costs of the innovating treatment RECELL®, a priori more expensive, are counterbalanced by a shorter cicatrisation duration and an improved evolution versus a conventional strategy. Give an information about efficiency improvement of RECELL® with additional costs
