ABSTRACT:
A flexible surgical plaster and an associated dermatological method of use for promoting healing of skin injuries and scars includes a flexible base layer having a window. The base layer is flexibly attachable to skin surface surrounding a skin injury or scar such that the window is flexibly placed above and exposes the skin injury or scar to light when the base layer is attached to the skin surface. The surgical plaster further includes a flexible translucent light-polarizing film placed in the window of the base layer such that the light-polarizing film is flexibly placed above the skin injury or scar when the base layer is attached to the skin surface. The light-polarizing film transforms ambient light received by the light-polarizing film into polarized light and transmits the polarized light through the window to the skin injury or scar when the base layer is attached to the skin.
