Burn scars are treated with compression garments. These are produced based on manual measure data. The aim of this study is to evaluate correct fitting, wearing comfort, suitability for daily use and scar properties after using garments produced on base of measuring data from scanning in comparison to manual measured data.
In plastic and reconstructive surgery, treatment of burn scars is still challenging, because excessive and hypertrophic scarring can occur. Burn garments are usually used to reduce such scarring. However, measure are taken manually by a measuring tape using interpolation. Therefore, compression garments produced on base of 3D surface imaging using a scanning system are compared to compression garments based on manually measurements regarding correct fitting, wearing comfort, suitability for daily use and scar properties.
