Abstract
Prevention and treatment of hypertrophic scars and contractures is usually obtained by the use of compression suits. The compression hood for the burned face is unaesthetical and often refused by the child. A better compression can be obtained by the use of a clear transparent plastic mask. It offers a better view and looks better, thus increasing the cooperation of the patient. Compression gloves and stockings are difficult to adapt to. It is easier to make mittens and boots out of silicone. These two techniques meet the criteria of efficiency: early application of compression, good tolerance, splint support, individually moulded splints for optimum pressure and cooperation.
