How To Use Self-Adhesive Silicone Gel Dressings

Self-adhesive silicone gel dressings are suitable for closed wounds to inhibit scar contraction and prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids. They are gently self-adhesive, require no tape, are thin and lightweight, and smooth and flexible. With a skin-like color, they are aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking. They are waterproof, breathable, durable, do not require washing, can be reused, and can be cut to size, making them economical and practical.

Suitable For:

• Preventing hypertrophic scar formation (e.g., post-cesarean section and children's skin scars)

• Closed wounds to prevent hypertrophic scars and keloids

• Old or new hypertrophic and keloid scars after the wound has healed

Cleaning:

Before use, clean the scar area and pat it dry, keeping the area clean and dry.

How to Use

1. Open the Package:

   
   

   
   

• Take out the dressing.

2. Trim:

   
   

   
   

• If necessary, trim to an appropriate size, ensuring it extends at least 1 cm beyond the wound edge. Ensure the scar area is dry before application. If used with ointments or lotions, ensure the dressing covers and extends beyond the area where the lotion is applied.

3. Apply:

   
   

   
   

• Peel off the backing and cover the scar with the self-adhesive silicone gel dressing. For best results, keep the dressing on 24 hours a day. Remove the dressing once daily to check and clean the skin. The dressing can be reused and generally does not need to be washed. (For sensitive skin, wear the dressing for 4-5 hours on the first day, 7-8 hours on the second day, gradually increasing to 24 hours a day.)

4. Replace:

   
   

   
   

• Replace the self-adhesive silicone gel dressing every 3-7 days, or when it loses its stickiness. The dressing is generally waterproof and can be worn while bathing.

Precautions:

1. This product must be used only after postoperative sutures have been removed and the wound is fully healed. It is strictly prohibited for open wounds, infected wounds, and unhealed scabs.

2. It is recommended to use for more than 12 hours a day; the longer the use, the better the effect. Use only after the wound is completely healed. The treatment cycle ranges from three months to one year.

3. If poor adhesion occurs due to sweating or secretions, clean with water or a neutral liquid, and also clean the scar and surrounding skin. Allow it to dry before continuing to use.

4. If maceration or rash occurs, remove the dressing until symptoms disappear and the skin recovers before continuing treatment. Gradually increase the treatment time. If symptoms persist, stop use and consult a physician.
