Active Comparator
SSCP & SPMS
SPMS
The smart scar care pad (SCCP): The SCCP is a newly invented insert material that can maximise treatment outcomes via enhanced compression and occlusion. The wearing regime for SCCP is 4 hours a day for the first day, with 2-hour increments added every other day until the total wearing time reached 23 hours. SSCP was cleaned twice a day for hygienic reasons. The smart pressure monitored suit(SPMS): The SPMS is a type of custom-made pressure garment. SPMS was used 23 hours a day and only removed when showering.
