Burns mainly refer to hot water steam burns, flames, arc burns, explosion injuries, chemical burns, etc. After a patient is burned, there may be different degrees of wound healing after wound healing due to age, individual differences, burn area size, and wound depth. Pigmentation, hypertrophy of scars, etc. If corresponding measures are taken for care, pigmentation, hypertrophy of scars and contracture deformities caused by it can be avoided or reduced.

Experts in burn surgery at Putian City's Ninth Five-Year Hospital recommend using an elastic sleeve early, because under certain pressure on the scar, the capillaries in the tissue will become embolized, making the scar tissue hypoxic and the collagen rate slowed down. According to this principle, the application of pressure therapy can prevent hypertrophic scars. At present, elastic sleeves have become one of the most effective methods for controlling scars.

When choosing the elastic sleeve, you should pay attention not to be too large or too loose, and its length and size should exceed the scope of the scar. Generally, elastic sleeves with a pressure of> 15-30mmHg can effectively inhibit scar hyperplasia. However, when the elastic sleeve is applied in the early stage of scar hyperplasia, the scar is easily ruptured and the ulcer is caused, especially the joints. Therefore, it is best to use nylon socks as a lining to avoid direct contact between the elastic sleeve and the scar.

The elastic sleeve is best to be used continuously for 24 hours, and it is generally taken off every day when cleaning. When you first use it, you are often not very comfortable. You can wear it for a few hours a day, slowly extend the time, and finally use it all day. In addition, according to the time range of the scar hyperplasia period, the elastic sleeve should be continuously applied for at least six months.
