Indications:
CICA-CARE – Silicone gel for the treatment of scars The CICA-CARE gel sheet is a soft, self-adhesive and semi-occlusive silicone dressing consisting of sanitary silicone reinforced by a support membrane.
CICA-CARE is indicated both for the treatment of recent or pre-existing hypertrophic and keloid scars, and for the prophylaxis and prevention of closed (sutured) wounds.
In addition to the benefits given by the use of silicone gel sheets for the treatment of scars, CICA-CARE adds those consisting of self-adhesion, and long-lasting. The result is a good cost / benefit ratio and a better satisfaction (acceptability) of the patient for the treatment and prevention of scars.
Features:
- Self-adhesive: The adhesive side of the dressing, made of patented material, is placed directly in contact with the scar, the outer side, covered with a thin silicone membrane, is not adhesive. A secondary adhesive dressing is therefore not essential, which makes CICA-CARE more, easier to use and therefore more acceptable for the patient.
- Durable: The association of the silicone membrane with the gel provides excellent support, so CICA-CARE lasts longer, longer and does not tend to crumble, like other silicone gel sheets.
- Conformable: CICA-CARE is a very well conformable silicone gel sheet. Thanks to its self-adhesion, CICA-CARE is easy to apply in many anatomical areas, including the earlobes and sternal areas.
- Reusable: One piece of CICA-CARE can be easily washed and reused. Only when it becomes difficult to achieve perfect cleansing is it time to replace it with a new one.One gel sheet generally lasts up to 28 days.
- Easy to use
- Today even more flexible: CICA-CARE has been re-designed to be more flexible.
How to use:
Wash your hands before and after use. Gently cleanse the scar and pericicatricial skin with mild soap and rinse with warm water. Carefully dry the scar and the pericicatricial tissue.
Once you have cut the sheet to the right size for the scar to be treated, apply the adhesive side to the scar. Alt Text3 – CICA-CARE is self-adhesive, but can also be held in place by a light elastic bandage or plaster.
To get used to the skin better, apply CICA-CARE for 4 hours for the first 2 days, 8 hours for the next 2 days and increase the application time by 2 hours at a time, until an optimum of 24 hours a day is reached.
In some patients, erythema has been observed on the skin covered by the dressing. This problem is attributed to poor sanitation or dressing applied with excessive compression. Should erythema appear, reduce the CICA-CARE treatment to 12 hours, followed by 12 hours of rest.
If erythema persists, stop treatment and consult your doctor. On sutured surgical wounds, CICA-CARE should only be applied after removal of the sutures and subsequent closure of the wound.
The use of CICA-CARE is contraindicated in patients with pathologies that can interfere with the correct application of the product and in patients with dermatological problems that could make the skin in contact with the product more fragile and able to get irritated.
