“…The clinical outcome of the two groups was comparable, with significantly greater adherence and lower cost in the Tubigrip arm of the trial. In 1995, Chang et al 26 randomised 122 patients, who required either skin grafting or their wounds to be healed over a period > 2 weeks, to either PGT or no PGT. The two groups were matched for age, percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) burned and length of hospital stay.…”

“…There is, however, evidence regarding the use of much higher pressure garments (15 to 30mmHg) for the purpose of treating hypertrophic scarring on burn scars and grafts. However, those higher pressures were applied to burn wounds and grafts at a later stage of healing (Macintyre & Baird, 2006;Li-Tsang et al, 2015;Yildiz, 2007;Ripper et al, 2009;Bloemen et al, 2009;Chang et al, 1995;Anzarut et al, 2009;Gladfelter, 2007) and on deeper wounds than donor sites thus the findings cannot be extrapolated to donor site wounds. It is well documented that wounds healing under tension are associated with thicker scarring (Widgerow et al, 2010).…”

“…Pressure garment therapy has been used for over 40 years to reduce thickened burns scars and graft sites (Ripper et al, 2009;Bloemen et al, 2009;Macintyre, 2006;Anzarut et al, 2009;Chang, et al, 1995;Gladfelter, 2007;Watkins, 2010. ) Pressure is applied to the healed burn scar or graft with a firm elastic garment, and dissipates the intrinsic tension in the wound, consequently reducing the amount of scar tissue generated (Larson et al, 1971cited in Harrison, 2008.…”
