Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the effect of 10,600 nm CO2 laser combined with Zimmer Cryo 6 forced cold air device on the comfort and efficacy of patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars, and to provide a safer, more effective and more satisfactory program for clinical treatment of burn scars or post-operative linear scars.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective: To investigate the effect of 10,600 nm CO2 laser combined with the cold-air cooling device Zimmer Cryo 6 on the comfort and efficacy of patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars, and to provide a safer, more effective and more satisfactory program for clinical treatment of burn scars or post-operative linear scars.

Secondary objective: To investigate the adverse effects of the cold-air cooling device Zimmer Cryo 6 in combination with the 10,600 nm CO2 fractional laser treatment for patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group: CO2 fractional laser alone

This group of patients is the treatment control group. During the treatment period, the cold-air cooling device Cryo 6 will be placed next to the laser equipment but not started. The air outlet position is about 3 to 7 centimeters away from the skin, and it will move slowly and synchronously according to the laser position. The skin temperature will be synchronously monitored and recorded by hand-held infrared thermometry. After the operation, the investigators use hospital's routine aftercare procedures, and continue to use hand-held infrared thermometry to synchronously monitor the skin temperature.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Combination group: CO2 fractional laser combined with Cryo 6

During the CO2 fractional laser treatment, cool the skin with cold-air cooling device Cryo 6. Set the wind to level 5, and the maximum time to 30 minutes. The air outlet position is about 3 to 7 centimeters away from the skin, and it will move slowly and synchronously according to the laser position. The skin temperature will be synchronously monitored by hand-held infrared thermometry and maintained at 0°C to 5°C. After the operation, the investigators use hospital's routine aftercare procedures and cooling with Cryo 6 on the skin synchronously. The wind level can be selected by patients themselves from level 3 to 7, and the time can be set for 5 minutes. Put the air outlet about 3 to 7 centimeters away from the skin, and move it slowly and dynamically in this area of skin to monitor and record the skin temperature synchronously.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cold-air cooling

Intervention Type DEVICE

Cryo 6 works with a compressor system like those in refrigerators and uses ambient air to generate a permanent stream of cold air with a maximum flow to 1000 L/min and a temperature as low as -30°C, depending on the cooling delivery system and the desired cooling level (range 1-9).
