ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention disclosed concerns a glove for the interim treatment of a burned hand for hypertrophic scarring and/or edema. The glove is formed from a pair of similar fabric blanks each having finger, thumb and wrist portions connected to a body portion. The edges of the finger, thumb and body portions are stitched together leaving the wrist portion open for the inser- tion of the hand. The edges of tear drop shaped cutouts extending from the web areas are stitched together to generate areas of local pressure in the dorsal web spaces of the hand. The stitches are slanted with respect to the longitudinal axes of the fingers to avoid pressure points in the knuckle/tendon area. In an alternate embodiment, flaps are formed along the little finger edges of the body portion. The flaps are wrapped over the wrist and loop and hook fastening means are utilized to apply pressure in the wrist area of the hand.
