About Burn Institute
The Burn Institute includes an outpatient clinic, an inpatient intensive care and step-down unit with 12 beds, procedure room, triage room and dressing change rooms. We provide care ranging from pre-injury prevention efforts, acute care, complex reconstruction including laser scar management, complete rehabilitation, and patient support services. Akron Children’s is one of only two pediatric hospitals in the country that treats adult burn patients. The Burn Institute is on the forefront of technology incorporating Spray-On Skin™, advanced laser therapies and skin substitutes to provide patients with innovative care.
The Burn Institute provides care through an innovative combined burn-critical care-plastic surgery model with a dedicated multi-disciplinary team including nurses, therapists, nutritionist, pharmacist, social work/case management, anesthesia, palliative care, psychology, child-life and chaplaincy. Akron Children’s Burn Institute is on the forefront of burn research. We participate in several pivotal research projects and our surgeons present at national and international conferences.
We offer supportive care to children and adults through burn camps, retreats and meetings as well as a back-to-school re-entry program that addresses the unique needs and concerns of children who have been burned.
We are actively involved in burn research and burn-care training for professional and community groups. In fact, Akron Childrens offers the only surgical burn training program of its kind in the region.
