Skin burns are very common injuries that affect people of all ages in all parts of the world. Burns are particularly harmful because damage can be life threatening or, in other cases, can require long-term care accompanied by great physical and emotional pain and economic costs. Full-thickness burns extend through the full depth of the dermal layer into the subcutaneous tissue and require extensive medical treatment. The procedure to calculate the extent of burn injuries requires two steps. First, temperatures within the tissue must be determined. Next, translating these temperatures to an injury criterion must be achieved. The aforementioned calculations were performed using a high-fidelity modeling program; however, the gold standard is, and should be, experimental/clinical evidence. Scald burns or other skin burns are serious concerns for human health and safety. It is possible to reduce the frequency and impact of skin burns by controlled exposure temperatures.
