title: Contact media approach to burn scar management.
abstract: The introduction of contact media in burn scar management has offered a cost effective alternative to pressure garment therapy, with improvements in function and cosmesis. The range of contact media now available allows for therapy to be individualised to the patient regardless of the size and site of the scar. The application and indications for contact media are presented and the probable mode of action is briefly discussed.
