Did you know 3D printing is used in burn care?

One of the most important tools in burn rehabilitation is the transparent facial orthosis, a clear face mask that helps manage scarring during healing. Watch how Shriners Children’s designs and customizes these devices for patients recovering from burn injuries. 

TFOs let medical teams see the scar clearly and apply gentle, steady pressure that helps soften the scar and keep the face moving the way it should.

“Facial scars don’t just change how someone looks, they can change how the face moves and works,” said Chris Whitehead, PT, physical therapist at Shriners Children’s Texas. “If scars tighten too much, they can make it hard to smile, eat, breathe or even close the eyes.”
