ABSTRACT:
A scar-reducing frame structure of the type for preventing motion relative to a healing cut in a person's skin of skin the region of the cut. The frame is conformable and attachable to the person's skin, and has an open area which encompasses the cut. The frame is substantially rigid in the plane of the frame so as to substantially prevent motion of the skin within the open area relative to the cut to allow the cut to heal without scarring. The frame includes an adhesive layer for fixedly attaching the frame to the skin. The adhesive layer is waterproof and provides for secure attachment of the frame to the skin, and allows the frame structure to be removed for purposes of replacement or when healing of the cut is complete.
