A three-layered, biodegradable wound dressing which improves the healing process of third and fourth degree burns has been developed. The new dressing incorporates layers of chitosan and synthetic polymer compounds under a gauze layer, and is lightweight, flexible, odor-free and impermeable to micro-organisms; but permeable to water vapor and wound exudate. The inner layers of the composite dressing biodegrade becoming pat of the healed skin allowing re-application that does not disturb the wound.
