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.

Burn Garments are most often prescribed to control abnormal conditions, including Hypertrophic Scarring, Burn Contracture and Keloids, resulting from:

• Fire, Chemical and Electrical Burn Injuries to the Dermal Tissue
• Post Surgical Complications

The Made-to-Measure Advantage

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.

Gottfried brand Made-to-Measure burn garments can increase compliance as a result of options and extras that ease donning, doffing and reducing the discomfort associated with normal wear. Numerous options are available and special requirements are easily accommodated. Contact us to discuss an unusual case or requirement.

The Difference in Fabric

The fabric of a burn garment is softer than is used for a vascular support, making it easier to don and doff. The softer fabric also aids in the prevention of skin breakdown.
