“…Another limitation of the study was the exclusion of mid-dermal burn injuries treated with autologous cells harvested with the ReCell® device (without SSG) and full-thickness burn injuries treated with Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template (with SSG) due to small numbers of subjects in these categories. The outcome measure used for the study, the height sub-score of a mVSS, is observer-dependent, and use of an objective device for measurement (for example high-frequency ultrasound) would further improve reliability and accuracy of the measurements [31]. …”

“…1) is based on the principle of narrow-band reflectance spectrophotometry (550 nm AE 30 nm and 660 nm AE 60 nm for haemoglobin [erythema or vascularity] and melanin [pigmentation] respectively). The colour probe specifications has been fully described in our previous publication [8]. The unit displays four readings (three individual measurements and the average of the three measurements) separately for erythema (vascularity) and melanin (pigmentation) using Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) -luminance (L), red-green axis (a) and blue-yellow axis (b) [CIELab] values.…”

“…Our previous work compared the reliability of subjective scar assessments of the mVSS and objective measurements made with the DermaLab Combo 1 . The results showed that the DermaLab Combo 1 measures pigmentation and vascularity of a scar more reliably than the mVSS [8].…”

“…The sensor has optical focusing on a 7‐mm diameter target area, which is small enough for measurements of only the scar, and not surrounding skin, at 35 days after wounding. It uses the principle of narrow‐band reflectance spectrophotometry, with erythema/vascularity measured at 550 ± 30 nm and melanin/pigmentation measured at 660 ± 60 nm …”
