Smith & Nephew Cica Care 12x15cm

Disfiguring conditions, such as scarring, can cause physical and emotional discomfort, with many patients wanting improvements to post-surgical scars. The CICA-CARE Dressing is a self-adhesive silicone gel sheet shown to help soften, flatten and fade red, dark or raised scars. CICA-CARE Gel Sheet is effective in management of new and existing hypertropic and keloid scars. CICA-CARE Gel Sheet can be used as soon as the wound has healed to help prevent the formation of red and raised scars. Whether it''s a surgical scar (from a Caesarean section, cosmetic surgery or mole removal) or it's a scar from accidental injuries such as burns, CICA-CARE Gel Sheet can be used.

Instructions for use
1) Wash hands before and after use.
2) Gently clean the scar and surrounding skin with a mild soap and rinse in clean warm water. Thoroughly dry the scar and surrounding skin.
3) Peel lid from tray and remove CICA-CARE Gel Sheet with printed plastics sheet still attached.
4) For small scars, cut gel sheet to fit scar size, with a small overlap over the surrounding skin. To facilitate ease of remoal, ensure that the cut piece includes the removal flaps on the printed plastic sheet. For large scars, use several sheets side by side.
5) Remove printed plastic sheet.
6) Apply gel sheet, adhesive side to the scar, without stretching. Although self-adhesive, CICA-CARE Gel Sheet may also be held in place by a light elastic conforming bandage or tape such as OPSITE FLEXIFIX Roll or PRIMAFIX Tape. Do not hold the gel sheet too tightly against the scar as this can lead to irritation of the scar and the surrounding area. Throw away hygienically after use.
