"We concluded that topical heparin use can enhance the healing of burn wounds and relieve the patient's pain significantly in humans without any influence on clotting time. It also has a beneficial role to inhibit the formation of scars after wound healing."

About the Saliba Burns Institute (SBI)
The Saliba Burns, Wounds, and Skin Problems Institute, Inc. is a California state registered, IRS designated 501.c.3 , public benefit corporation. Saliba Burns Institute (SBI) is the business name used in work involving burns. The Institute is involved in medical research, education, and product development of affordable therapies using heparin in difficult-to-treat, chronic skin maladies. We feel fortunate that our research studies have been successful. The research and development relating to burn injuries has been completed. SBI is now engaged worldwide in disseminating the information to doctors and the public, using multiple instructional methods, including meetings and the production of educational materials, including teaching videos of the heparin treatment. 

Our main purpose is knowledge transfer. On request, S


Dr. Michael Saliba, Founder, Saliba Burns Institute of La Jolla, California

BI will communicate information on the therapy by multimedia means. Doctors worldwide who are currently using heparin in burns have expressed the need for a center through which they can remain in contact with each other, and to keep abreast of advances in their field. The SBI office and this website will have that function.

SBI’s goal is to affordably improve burn care, and to "put an end to burn pain and scars."
