This article gives an overview of the use of silicones in the treatment and prevention of
hypertrophic (burn related) scars. Of all non-invasive treatment modalities the use of continuous …

A variety of conservative treatments for burn scars are available, but there is no clear consensus
on the evidence. The purpose of this study was to summarize the available literature on …

The aim of this study was threefold: (1) Assess the pressure loss of two types of pressure
garments that are used in the treatment of hypertrophic scars after burn injury, (2) investigate …

BACKGROUND: Wound infection and dehiscence are both major contributors to postoperative
morbidity. One potential cause or co-factor is the use of suture material. A recently …

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) burns are a huge global health problem
resulting in death and devastation to those who survive large burns as they are faced with …

Background Since the management of keloid and hypertrophic scars still remains a difficult
clinical problem, there is need for adequate, effective therapy. In this study, we explored for …

This cross-sectional study investigated the reproducibility of repeated elasticity and transepidermal
water loss (TEWL) measurements with the DermaLab ® on 32 active burn scars and …

OBJECTIVE: Maturation remains the least understood phase of wound healing; estimates of
maturation time are broad and inaccurate. A more precise estimation of maturation time …

Background Mechanical pressure is increasingly applied as a means to prevent or treat
keloid scars. Aim The aim of this study is to analyze the long-term efficacy of our custom-molded …

This study investigated the reproducibility of repeated measurements with the Kikuhime
pressure sensor under two different types of pressure garments used in the treatment and …
