Burn implant care method – pressure therapy Pressure therapy: A mask and neck elastic sleeve made of elastic fabric are used to apply continuous pressure to the implant area to prevent and reduce the hyperplastic contracture of the implant area and the marginal scar. This method is simple, easy to implement, effective and suitable for patients with no traumatic residue in the viable skin graft. Specific methods are as follows: ① Production: The neck elastic sleeve is cut according to the circumference of the patient’s neck, and Velcro is sewn on the joints. A face mask is also available, usually purchased at a burn specialist hospital. ②Wearing: Family members are required to assist in the early stage of wearing, and the inner surface is lined with 1 to 2 layers of gauze, laid flat and glued with Velcro for pressure. In addition to daily washing and massage, in principle, the mask should be worn continuously for 24 hours and adhered to for six months to one year. ③Improve the therapeutic effect: The root of both sides of the nose should be filled with gauze rolls when the mask is worn to achieve uniform force on each part and increase the pressure on the face. ④Strengthen the adaptation: When wearing the mask in the early stage, individual patients may experience discomfort, such as dizziness, slightly labored breathing and other symptoms, which are mostly normal and can be gradually adapted after 1 week. If this symptom continues to aggravate without relief, wear should be suspended, and if possible, consult a hospital. ⑤ Protect the trauma: When a small trauma occurs, you can continue to wear it. A small hole should be cut in the same part of the elastic sleeve to expose the trauma and keep it dry to facilitate healing.
