Comparative Study
Measurements of scar properties by SkinFibroMeter® , SkinGlossMeter® , and Mexameter® and comparison with Vancouver Scar Scale.
An objective measurement of scar is important for evaluating treatment outcomes. However, to date, there is no 'gold standard' for quantitative measurement of properties of hypertrophic scar. Existing objective modalities are neither portable nor easy to use. ⋯ In our study, Skinfibrometer can be an objective noninvasive evaluation tool for pliability of the scar.
