Burn Garments
 

Compression Management Services is a leader in offering compression products for patients with severe burns. In the delicate case of a burn, the collagen in the skin grows at ten times the normal rate. This accelerated rate of growth can lead to raised skin, redness, hypertrophic scarring and burn contracture. Research shows that low grade compression through the use of a compression garment for 12-18 months can aid dramatically in the prevention of such scarring.

Effective use of compression within weeks of the initial burn will also eliminate the likelihood of post-burn surgeries such as contracture release and possibly reduce the need for additional skin grafting.

Burn garments are custom-made, designed to provide precise pressure, and are measured and fitted for each individual patient to achieve an accurate fit for maximum effectiveness. They are individually engineered, designed and constructed to satisfy the needs of each individual patient.

Burn garments vs. vascular garments:
Unlike a vascular garment, burn garments are manufactured with a soft fabric that provides uniform (even) pressure. The fabric of a burn garment also aids in the prevention of skin breakdown. A vascular garment provides precise gradient pressure to increase blood flow and decrease swelling.
