Abstract
A novel technique of application of controlled ventral scald burn to rodent, whose back is inaccessible because of preburn preparation, is described. Boiling water is applied across a polyethylene membrane that partially envelops the subject. The technique is simple, economical, reproducible and allows intravital microscopic study of microcirculation in a remote muscular bed before and after burn injury.
