For thermal burns of grade III, a thin layer of Chymopsin is applied at a rate of 1 g per 100 cm2 of the wound surface and covered with a bandage moistened with 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 0.25% procaine solution. A moisture-tight dressing is applied on top to slow down the drying of the dressings. The dressing is changed every other day.
