Platinum Surgical specialises in various surgical equipment and aesthetic products for healthcare environments. The company provides specialised burn garments that are made from elastic material and designed to maintain constant appropriate pressure over areas undergoing scar formation after burn injuries, preventing and controlling scar hypertrophy and reducing disfiguration in patients. These burn garments are produced using multi-directional breathable elastic fabric. Elastic burn garments allow flexibility in required areas and different types of reinforcing elements can be incorporated into these garments to increase effectiveness in areas where additional pressure is required.
Elastic burn garments are designed according to measurements specific to each individual client and are recommended to be worn on the advice of the medical specialist. Oils and creams used in the treatment of scar tissue will adversely affect these constant pressure garments and should not to be used when these garments are worn. The time period for which these stretching burn garments have to be worn has to be decided by the doctor concerned and depends on the nature of the burns. These garments can be washed in cold water using a neutral soap and need to be dried in the open air, avoiding direct exposure to the sun. Given proper care, these stretching burn garments can maintain their elasticity for three to four months.
