Total-contact burn masks are used to treat scar tissue hypertrophy of the face. The mask should conform very closely to the contours of the face and provide evenly distributed pressure. The mask is worn continually throughout wound maturation. Lack of fit because of an inability to obtain exact facial contours by use of an alginate material diminishes the effectiveness of the mask. A multidisciplinary team representing physical therapy, CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing), biomedical engineering, and prosthetics has advanced the method of developing total-contact burn masks by use of human body electronic imaging, computer graphics, and numerically controlled milling processes. High-resolution surface scanning and CAD/CAM have been used successfully to accurately fabricate three such masks. The methodology and preliminary results from use of these state-of-the-art techniques are described in this article.
全接触烧伤面罩用于治疗面部瘢痕组织增生。面罩应非常紧密地贴合面部轮廓，并提供均匀分布的压力。在伤口成熟过程中需持续佩戴面罩。由于使用藻酸盐材料无法获得精确的面部轮廓而导致贴合不佳，会降低面罩的效果。一个由物理治疗、计算机辅助设计与制造（CAD/CAM）、生物医学工程和假肢领域的专业人员组成的多学科团队，通过人体电子成像、计算机图形学和数控铣削工艺改进了全接触烧伤面罩的开发方法。高分辨率表面扫描和CAD/CAM已成功用于精确制作三个这样的面罩。本文描述了使用这些先进技术的方法和初步结果。
