Skin Stretching for Burn Scar Excision: A New Approach to Healing

Burn scars can significantly impact both physical appearance and quality of life. This study investigates the use of a skin-stretching device to optimize wound closure after burn scar excision. The research, conducted as a multicenter randomized controlled trial, explored whether skin stretching could facilitate scar excision in a single step, potentially reducing the need for multiple procedures. The study found that skin stretching showed promise in achieving wound closure, with potential benefits for patients requiring scar excision.
