The Scarbase Duo((R)): Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and validity of a compact dual scar assessment tool

摘要

Objective scar assessment tools were designed to help identify problematic scars and direct clinical management. Their use has been restricted by their measurement of a single scar property and the bulky size of equipment. The Scarbase Duo (R) was designed to assess both trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and colour of a burn scar whilst being compact and easy to use.
