Popis:	Silicone thermoplastic sheeting has been used successfully in the management of hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from thermal burn injuries. A technique is described that incorporates silicone thermoplastic sheeting for fabrication of a compression face mask. This technique combines the moldability of thermoplastic splinting materials with the therapeutic surface of silicone, yielding the advantages of both in a one-step process.
