Current materials and techniques used in a burn scar management programme.
A range of materials is now available for use in a burn scar management programme. The use of these materials is detailed and suggestions are made based upon the experience gained from close clinical observation of children treated over a 7-year period at the Adelaide Children's Hospital Burn Clinic. Lightweight pressure garments are still needed to keep these various media in contact but are not included in the discussion.
