Information

-
Pockets
for inserting additional
pressure material can be
sewn on dorsal side,
using lining material.
-
Where
donning the garment over
the foot is particularly
difficult, a heel insert
or a full-length insert
panel along the side of
one/both legs may he used
instead of a zipper. The
additional stretch of the
material may allow the
patient to pull on the
garment without zippers.
-
Foot
mittens with no seams on
the soles are
recommended. They may be
made of lining material
to minimize friction and
shearing.

- Important!
- Custom-made
pressure garments provide
that constant, even
pressure necessary to aid
in preventing
hypertrophic scarring and
disfigurement. To be
effective, the garments
should be worn 24 hours a
day, every day, until the
scar tissue is mature,
usually 9-14 months
post-burn. A pressure
garment maintains
effective pressure for
2-3 months and then must
be replaced. Alternating
between several garments
will aid in lengthening
the life of the garments,
although, in some cases
of weight change, or
spurts of rapid growth in
children, more frequent
re-measurement and
replacement may be
necessary.
