Silipos neck wraps.

Burns of the neck are a problem. Grafted anterior necks can result in disfiguring hypertrophic scar contractures and wrinkling of the graft. The development of contractures can be prevented by effective splinting as soon as possible after the burn and by following a continuous wearing schedule until scar maturation is complete. Traditional neck conformers do not allow free neck rotation and can lead to stiffness as a result of decreased mobility. We used Silipos neck wraps for 10 patients who had good range of motion in the neck and who required pressure only for flattening of grafts and wrinkle prevention. The neck wrap is user-friendly, low in cost, and easy to fabricate and custom-fit for individual patients.
