What is pressure garment therapy and why is it important?

烧伤与疤痕管理(职业治疗)

Pressure garments apply constant pressure of 25 mmHg on healing scars. This pressure flattens raised scars, reduces redness, and improves skin texture. An OT measures and fits these garments to your exact body shape. They must be worn 23 hours a day and replaced every 2 to 3 months as they lose elasticity. Studies show pressure therapy reduces hypertrophic scarring by up to 70%.
