title: Conservative treatment using compression suits for second and third degree burns in children.
abstract: The use of compression suits since December 1976 has shown, that even in cases with hypertrophic scarring after deep second- and third-degree burns good late results can be obtained. Thirty-five patients were re-examined 18 to 20 months after the compression suits were introduced and the results were analysed.
