Compression Therapy Burn Garments
Control Scarring Due to Burns or Surgery
Burn garments help to control the growth of abnormal scar tissue resulting from severe injuries,
such as burns or post surgical complications. Also, they help return the affected area to its pre-trauma size. They
are engineered to exert uniform (even) pressure from the distal end to the proximal end.

Every Gottfried brand burn garment is Made-to-Measure. They are individually engineered, designed
and constructed to satisfy a specific patient's or customer's unique requirements. Being Made-to-Measure assures
the prescribed pressure is attained and a physiologically correct fit is achieved.
