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.
