Abstract
Burns can result in hypertrophic reddening, thick, itching scars with contractions. Since 1978 the Burns Unit in Copenhagen [Denmark] has treated this condition with Jobst pressure garments. The patients are regularly controlled in the Jobst day-clinic by a team consisting of a surgeon, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and a nurse. Close to 500 patients were treated and controlled in the clinic for periods of 0.5 yr to 1.5 yr and, in a few cases, for 3 yr.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
