Patent ID: 7540850

Claim:
A scarring orthosis comprising a plate in which reliefs are formed; the reliefs being sized and shaped to exert differential pressure on only a portion of a scar so as to control hypertrophy, retraction and fibrosis; the reliefs being molded in an elastic plate and comprising at least one curved groove shaped to act on certain selected regions of dermal scarring thickness and at least one cupola; said groove surrounding said cupola; wherein the groove has a bottom spaced from a first side of the plane of the plate and the cupola has a top spaced from a second, opposite side of the plane of the plate such that said groove and said cupola are on opposite sides of the plane of said plate, whereby said orthosis increases the elasticity in its deep plane and modulates the force exerted there, so that it can increase pressure locally on the back of the groove when it is pushed by a treatment unit.
