Burns, Hypertrophic Scar

Brief summary

This is a pilot, single-center, feasibility study to evaluate a new 3D printing method for ORDP design. To our knowledge, there is no technical or clinical evaluation of ORDPs, particularly in the treatment of hypertrophic scars. The aim of our study is therefore to assess the feasibility of an innovative method of designing ORDPs for the curative treatment of post-burn hypertrophic scars, using a 3D printing process, and to describe the procedures (production time and cost).

Interventions

DEVICE3D scan measurment

patients included in the study will undergo a 3D scan measurement of on or more burn scars. This measurement will then be digitally modified in preparation for the manufacture of the "differential pressure distribution orthosis". The orthosis will then be manufactured using a 3D printing process.
