A burn treatment apparatus for treating or relieving burn induced compartment syndrome in a burned limb comprising: (a) a flexible, water-impermeable cylindrical or tube shaped covering layer, having an inner surface facing the limb and an outer surface, said covering layer having a proximal sealable open end through which the burned limb is inserted and a distal closed end; and (b) a lyophilized powder contained within said covering layer, said lyophilized powder comprising (i) at least one enzymatic escharotomy agent, and (ii) one or more excipients, said excipients comprising at least one viscosity enhancing agent; wherein the viscosity enhancing agent forms a viscous solution or suspension from the lyophilized powder upon the addition of a hydrating means; and wherein said covering layer retains said powder in close proximity to the burned limb. Further provided is use of the burn treatment apparatus for inducing enzymatic escharatomy in a burned limb.
