Abstract

Initial hand dressings for burned hands should be compatible with preservation of skin substitutes and grafts, splinting, and active motion. We have developed a standardized glove dressing directed at these requirements. Early experience with this glove dressing has included feasible clinical application, 7- to 10-minute application time, and 90% preservation of total active range of motion in a normal hand placed in the dressing under test conditions.
