9 and older, any sex, with Cicatrix, Hypertrophic or Keloid. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.
What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Beausang's scar scale, skin elasticity (Cutometer®), skin moisture (Corneometer®), skin color (Chromameter®, Mexameter®), histological evaluation (HE, elastica, actin etc.)
Time frame: 45 minutes
Sponsor's own description
So far the evaluation of scar treatment was based on subjective criteria. The patient groups were divided into treated versus non-treated. In this study we use patients undergoing ear reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage. The thoracic scar of harvesting the rib cartilage is routinely reopened after 3 month during second stage of reconstruction. Therefore we have a ideal model of clinical, physiological and histological scar evaluation in a homologous patient group. All patients randomly treat one half of the scar with a silicone gel (Dermatix). The other half is untreated as an internal control.
