Commercially available bridal veil nylon (BVN) in 2.0-, 3.0-, and 4.0− mm hexagonal mesh is being used as a sterile dressing for burns and many surgical problems. BVN appears to promote more rapid reepithelialization of granulating burn wounds than other dressings. I suggest that the BVN mesh provides a “trellis effect,” acting as a supporting structure across which, or over which, epithelium will grow more raidly than it would without the dressing. Photographic studies illustrating this effect are included.
