Gauntlet to Wrist
  • Expansion panels made of insert material can be used instead of zippers for glove closures.
  • Pockets for inserting additional pressure material can be sewn on either the palmar or dorsal side, using lining material.
  • Web spacers are fitted on the underside and in between the fingers of the glove. The strips may be notched at the joints and tapered at the ends. Softer insert material can be used across the metacarpophalangeal joints to reduce abrasion.
  • The glove can be made a part of the sleeve.
  • Gloves for toddlers may be made of close-knit material on the palmar surface, and insert material dorsally.
  • Garments can be made to cover just the thumb and index finger. Inserts can be placed in the thumb web space especially if that area is unburned. Darts can be sewn in the area of the thenar eminence to pull the thumb into opposition. A similar procedure can be used for little fingers, but sometimes just twisting the material can accomplish the same purpose.

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.
