Abstract

A hydration and occlusion treatment using Blenderm adhesive tape on the grafted skin of the burned hands and fingers or after release of burn scar contracture of young children is described. In order to prevent scar contracture and pigmentation of grafted skin after surgery, the application of Blenderm proves effective without the use of a splint.
