Ultra Modern Burns Institute
Excellence in any surgical decipline demands continuous upgrading and modernization for incessant progress. Hence it was my dream to pioneer such an institute in Vadodara which would stand at par with the most developed burns and cosmetic surgery institutes worldwide.
So now at 'Amish Hospital' we have made a humble effort to provide such 'par excellence' care for critical burns and cosmetic surgery patients for the first time in this country.

AIR FLUIDIZED BED : (REDECTRON, Holland)
The unique feature of this bed is that the patient floats on a layer of microsphere (70 – 140 u) which are suspended in an air flow This results in a very low contact a very low contact pressure (8 – 10 mm of Hg) well bellow capillary pressure and maintains good blood circulation. Controlled temperature air( 20 – 36 C) comes from beneath the bed and keeps the contact air dry, this prevents maceration of skin. The bed has low humidity (40 %) & hence no matrix culture is provided for microorganism to grow and the risk of bacterial transmission is eliminated. All these features help to prevent superficial burns to become deep, a common problem with other beds.
‘Redectron' is making decisive contribution in the survival of severe burns.

ELECTRO DERMATOME (Puddget, U.S.A)
It takes precise even thickness graft ten times faster than routine dermatome.
It gives more strips of grafts as there is no Zig Zag loss which occurs with normal dermatome. This is crucial factor to be considered in major burns where limited donor site is available.
Of course it is the instrument of choice to take a graft from odd sites like chest, abdomen, scalp, back etc,
