Thuasne Cicatrex scar glove ā targeted support for scar care on the hand
Do you have a scar on your hand or wrist, for example after surgery, a burn or an injury? A scar glove can play a valuable role during recovery. The Thuasne Cicatrex scar glove has been developed to provide targeted, even compression and is used in the management of conditions including hypertrophic scars and keloids. The glove is available in a short and long model, depending on the area that requires support.
The function of a scar glove
Controlled compression is often used in scar treatment. This pressure can help keep scar tissue more supple, reduce tension on the skin and support the healing process. The Cicatrex scar glove applies constant, even pressure to the hand, which may help soften thickened scar tissue such as hypertrophic scars and keloids. The glove can also support undisturbed wound healing by reducing strain on the skin during everyday movements.
Difference between the short and long models
The short model is suitable when support is mainly required around the hand and fingers. The long model extends further over the wrist and towards the forearm and is often chosen when scar tissue is also present in these areas or when additional support is required. Both versions are designed for daily use and can be worn underneath clothing.
Indications and applications of the Cicatrex scar glove
The Thuasne Cicatrex scar glove is used in scar care in a variety of situations where controlled compression is required. The glove may be used for skin damage and impaired healing involving hypertrophic scar formation or keloids. This type of compression is also commonly used following injuries, burns or surgical procedures.
The glove can also provide support following skin grafts, when the scarred area requires additional protection and rest. During the healing phase, the even pressure may contribute to favourable healing of the scar and wound. In some situations, compression is also used to help maintain surgical results, always in consultation with the treating doctor or therapist.
In specific medical situations, a scar glove may also form part of the management of lymphoedema when recommended by a specialist. Which application is suitable for you depends on your symptoms, the location of the scar and the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare professional.
