Catastrophic burn injuries cover large portions of the body and can cause nerve damage and loss of bodily functions.

To restore and repair the skin and bodily functions, victims often require procedures that include:

• Skin Grafting.
• Cosmetic and functional reconstructive surgeries.
• Amputations, or
• Rehabilitative care.
