The use of pressure garments has long been recognised as a successful means of managing
hypertrophic scarring following burn wound healing, lymphoedema and stump oedema.
This practical manual provides detailed instructions in the fabrication of pressure
garments to produce effective and consistent results. Topics covered include a description
of the rationale of pressure therapy, therapeutic applications and the instructions
necessary to produce a complete range of garments. The fabrication of the garments
is presented with logical step-by-step instructions, supported by large clear diagrams.
The text is well referenced and includes useful appendices. This book will be essential
reading for all therapists working with burn patients, it will also be of interest
to those working with lymphoedema patients and amputees
