Potential capability of BGs to meet the criteria required for burn management.

Properties	Notes	References
Attenuation of inflammation	Promising results in the general context of wound healing	Day and Boccaccini, 2005; Varmette et al., 2009
Prevention/treatment of infection	Convincing results in the general context of soft tissue healing. One study has been reported in the context of burn management, showing the efficacy of BGs against multidrug-resistant bacterial strains typical of human infected burns.	Gholipourmalekabadi et al., 2016
Promotion of angiogenesis	Convincing results in the general context of bone tissue and soft tissue healing.	Lin et al., 2012, 2016b; Quinlan et al., 2015; Li et al., 2016a; Kargozar et al., 2018b
Removal of exudates	No evidence of that has been reported yet. This property is peculiar of MBGs and is believed to be possible due to the highly-porous texture of MBGs.	Gholipourmalekabadi et al., 2016
Re-epithelization	Promising results in the context of tissue engineering.	Wang et al., 2017
