Many of the travel restrictions due to the Covd-19 pandemic are being lifted and more cases are being treated in the clinics. The follow on care in many cases is still accomplished by telemedicine. In addition, the treatment of many children continues to be addressed through telemedicine and is becoming a best practice. Instructions on wound dressing replacement and other procedures that could be done remotely are taught and monitored by telemedicine. In all cases, the rules, regulations and changes in medical protocols necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic have been addressed successfully by the Coaniquem staff.
The new device that employs a laser technique for the treatment of scar tissues is now in service. This $200,000 device was made possible by a dedicated fund raising campaign to honor the memory of Lloyd Baysdorfer, an ardent advocate of Coaniquem BCF. This new procedure utilizes lasers to keep scar tissue more soft and pliable by creating micro-perforations in the scar; and will promote healthy tissue around and beneath it. This will speed up the recovery of the child and the possibilities of reducing scarring. See the previous report in this series for more details.
