Silicone gel Tape is a solidified form of silicone that is elastic and has a soft, rubbery texture, widely used in the management of hypertrophic scarring and keloids.
The Silicone gel dressing can be cut in any shapes needed, made them ideal for a variety of different scar sizes. The silicone gel tape roll has a tacky backing, allowing for a gentle adhesion that sticks to the skin and covers the entire scar site, forming an occlusive moist healing environment, softening and flattening scars while promoting better hydration and faster healing with no irritation. Silicone scar strip is reusable and can be washed with soap and water to expand their lifespan for up to two weeks or more.
Silicone has demonstrated clinical efficacy over all other forms of topical treatments and has become the gold standard for scar treatment and scar prevention. It has many useful properties and retains the same pressure, temperature, and oxygen tension at the wound site. Silicone’s biocompatibility means that it has a low risk of allergies and irritation and is highly suitable for patient’s who cannot tolerate the pain of other scar management procedures.
