Development of 3D-printed customized facial padding for burn patients

Purpose This paper aims to develop 3D-printed customized padding to increase pressure at the zero pressure region. This padding is specifically intended for facial areas with complex contours in pressure therapy treatment of hypertrophic scars. Design/methodology/approach To carry out this study, a...
