Workingalongside clinicians and latest technological advances DM Orthotics are modifying design to improve the effect of such garments.As you would expect from an innovative, dynamic company, we incorporate recent research evidence to inform our scarmanagement designs.Using experience gained from the highly successful DMO® range we also incorporated dynamically aligned control panels into ourstandard poly/cotton burns garments to provide corrective contracture reducing forces and locally increased pressure.The burns garments provide forces to:• Locally targeted increased pressure gradients• Improve rehabilitation, cosmetic appearance and complianceIn addition, corrective burns garments offer the following:• Maintain or regain range of movement the affected area (Launched in BBA 2007 by Frank Robinson Clinics Team, Booth HallChildren’s Manchester).• Counter muscle and soft tissue contraction often associated with scarringCorrective Burn Garments help to control the growth of abnormal scar tissue resulting from severe injuries, such as burns or postsurgical complications. Dynamic Burns Garments provide the required compression of 17-24 mmHg which is necessary to help aidin the reduction of oedema and prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scarring.The pressure applied by Dynamic Burns Garments increases the scar maturation rate, through providing permanent cylindricalpressure to the area of scar tissue. This prevents the thickness of the scar increasing.Options:• Zippers• Velcro• Silver Treatment *• Web Spacers• Double Material Pocket• Soft Linings• Dynamic corrective panels for corrective burns garments only (to counter scar tissue restriction to movement range)• Burn Garments Wearing RegimeIt is important that burn patients begin wearing pressure garments while the scar is active and immature. Scar tissue is highlyresponsive in the early stages so an early application of pressure garments is imperative. Dynamic Burn garments should be wornat least 23 hours a day, removing them for bathing and cleaning of the garments only. Most patients will need to wear pressuregarments for 12 to 18 months.1112131415Please contact Customer Services for full details of this product range.210Telephone: 0845 6000 330 | Email: Solutions@rslsteeper.com
