Even Severe Burns Diagnosed for Skin Graftin
Can Heal Without Pain
—Using Natsui-Style Moist Wound Healing
🔥 The Reality of Burn Treatment
Choose a treatment that doesn’t cause your child tears and pain.
Hello,
I’m Dr. Kohrita, director of Kohrita Hiro Orthopedic and Plastic Surgery Clinic,
located in Shin-Osaka, Yodogawa Ward, Osaka, Japan.
Yesterday Again, Children Suffering
from Burn Treatments Visited Our Clinic
Several children undergoing burn treatment
at other hospitals came to our clinic yesterday.
Many of them shared a common complaint:
“The treatment itself is extremely painful and distressing.”
Unfortunately, the treatment they received primarily involved
the following substances and procedures:
・Silver sulfadiazine cream (e.g., Geben®)
・Fiblast spray
・Hirudoid lotion
・Iodine-based gel (Isodine®)
・Soap-based wound cleansing
These methods damage skin tissue, promote drying,
and ultimately deepen the wounds.
Worst of all, they cause severe pain.
❗ Why Are Painful and Counterproductive
Treatments Still Being Used?
Honestly, I cannot understand it.
Medications that inhibit skin regeneration.
Cleansing with soap that chemically destroys cell membranes.
Anyone with a basic understanding of chemistry would recognize
that these harm tissue repair.
Yet, these treatments continue to be used
daily as the “standard of care” across Japan—
even promoted by burn and plastic surgery specialists.
To me, this is deeply troubling and unacceptable.
👶 Still, There Is a Way to Heal Without Skin Grafts
I am neither a certified burn specialist nor a plastic surgeon.
Even so, I have treated numerous patients
from all over Japan (and sometimes from abroad)
who were told by other doctors that “skin grafting is necessary.”
In nearly all cases,
I have successfully treated them without skin grafts using:
Natsui-style Moist Wound Healing,
a method proposed by Dr. Makoto Natsui.
This treatment approach:
・Does not involve disinfection
・Does not use gauze or ointments
・Causes minimal pain and protects tissue
・And most importantly, can be practiced by anyone
In fact, except for burns on the palms of children under 1.5 years,
we have avoided grafting in nearly all cases.

Every time I see the thick scars left behind by skin grafts,

🌿 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
about Natsui-Style Moist Wound Healing
Q1: What is Natsui-style Moist Wound Healing?
A: It is a treatment that keeps wounds moist to support natural healing.
No disinfectants or gauze are used.
This approach reduces pain and helps wounds heal with minimal scarring.
Q2: Why don’t you disinfect the wound?
A: Disinfectants harm not only bacteria but also cells vital for healing,
delaying recovery and worsening scars.
Q3: What kind of treatment is done?
A: We use hydrocolloid dressings or polyurethane films
to keep the wound moist.
Depending on the case, we may also use Vaseline.
Bathing and showering at home are usually permitted.
Q4: Does it hurt?
A: Because we don’t use gauze that sticks to wounds,
there’s no pain from removal.
Wounds also heal faster,
and pain relief medication is often unnecessary.
Q5: Will the scar be minimal?
A: Results vary based on depth and location,
but compared to dry healing,
this method usually results in less noticeable scarring
—especially on visible areas like the palm.
Q6: Do I need daily clinic visits?
A: Usually, no. We teach simple home care methods.
Occasionally, a follow-up visit every few days may be needed.
Q7: Is there a risk of infection?
A: When moist conditions are properly maintained,
infection risk is actually lower.
But if you notice severe pain, swelling, or redness,
please consult us promptly.

It’s less painful and doesn’t require traumatic gauze removal.
We have extensive experience treating pediatric wounds.
