I never understood why movie stars and sports stars get the big money and the headlines but the scientists that come up with life saving devices never even make the news. This would be amazing for our soldiers, firemen, children etc. I cannot imagine the pain a burn victim goes through but to heal this fast is amazing.

Thanks for posting this. The graphic part shown some severely burned skin.

Not to be the skeptic or anything, but the video didn't actually show us anything. The gentleman who was burned said half his face, and his arm, were burned, yet they only treated the arm so how come the rest of him looked so good? Can't get that result from a skin graft. And there were no before and after pictures of him. Why not? Pictures are always taken of bad injuries for study and treatment options.

How marvelous...only wish they had this procedure when my precious Dad was burned. A burn is horrible.

It appears to be a valid development. The Youtube video came from NationalGeographic, and I found the following Wikipedia article on Dr. Fiona Wood of Australia who developed the technique:

I agree it is amazing. Thank God whom all things are formed...
It took one man to think of the idea and God given talent to finish the rest. Thanks for sharing it...
