Burns/Scar Management Overview
PDF Print E-mail

TSL Compression Garments are used in the treatment of Keloid and Hypertrophic scars by applying pressure to the affected area which helps flatten the scarring. Following a burn injury the body produces Collagen which untreated causes a raised often purple/red coloured scar which can become quite hard. Applying pressure garments promotes Collagen maturation which then allows the scar to flatten.

Custom Made Garments

TSL Custom Made Compression Garments are designed with the wearer in mind. We work in conjunction with the therapist and patient to ensure that the client benefits from the compression therapy, whilst maintaining comfort and appropriate fit. Our Custom Made Garments are designed and manufactured on an individual basis, paying close attention to each clients needs, which include the level of pressure required, donning and doffing capabilities. Custom Made Compression Garments are available for upper and lower extremities.

Custom made garments for children are available in a range of colours, and can be made with contrasting stitching and include an embroidered motif.

Ready to Fit Garments for Upper Extremities

We offer a Ready To Fit Range for the upper extremitiy. These include gauntlet, glove, armsleeve and gauntlet/glove to axilla sleeve.

Combination Sizes

Traditionally, there has only ever been two choices when ordering compression garments Custom Made and Ready To Fit. We may now supply you with combination Sizes. Which means you may for example request a garment with a medium wrist, large elbow and extra large axilla. Any combination of sizes may be requested. (Please call our clinical advisors to clarify this.)

Silon Tex Lining and Silon Technology

Silon Tex lining can be added to any of our garments to assist scar management. Silon Technology and Oleeva products for scar management are available through Therapist Support Laboratory.
