Scar hyperplasia Experts recommend early use of elastic sleeves


Burns mainly refer to burns by hot water steam, flames, arc burns, explosions, chemical burns, etc. After a patient is burned, due to age, individual differences, burn area size and wound depth, there will be different degrees after wound healing Pigmentation, scar hyperplasia, etc., such as taking appropriate measures for care, can avoid or reduce pigmentation, scar hyperplasia and contracture deformities caused thereby.


Nine-five hospital burn surgery experts recommend the early use of elastic sleeves, because the scar is under certain pressure, the capillaries in the tissue will be embolized, making the scar tissue hypoxic and the collagen speed slows 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 scar control.


Pay attention to the selection of elastic sleeves, not too big or too loose, its length and size should be more than the scope of scars. Generally, elastic sleeves with a pressure of> 15-30mmHg can be used to effectively inhibit scar hyperplasia. However, when the elastic sleeve is applied in the early stage of scar hyperplasia, the scar is easy to rupture and cause ulcers, especially the joints. Therefore, it is best to use nylon socks as the lining to avoid direct contact between the elastic sleeve and the scar.


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