What it is and how it helps

The CICA-Care gel sheet is a conformable silicone option intended to support scar management. It is designed to help with raised scar appearances and texture, with potential reductions in thickness and color differences over time when used as directed. While outcomes vary, many users find that the sheet fits smoothly over a scar and remains comfortable through daily activities.

• May help soften and flatten raised scars, contributing to a more even skin surface.
• Designed to address coloration and thickness differences, with potential progress observable over time.
• Self-adhesive, reusable design that is intended to stay in place with light wear during everyday movement.
• Specifically engineered for temporary use on closed wounds and for scars across various body locations.

How to use

Applying the sheet is straightforward and can be integrated into routine skin care. Start with clean, dry skin. Cut a piece to cover the scar with a small overlap onto surrounding skin. Remove the release liner and apply the adhesive side over the scar without stretching the sheet. For larger scars, you can place several sheets side by side. If a removal flap is present on the backing, use it to ease lifting when changing sheets.

• Cut to fit the scar, allowing a small overlap on surrounding skin.
• Adhere the sheet to the scar without pulling or stretching.
• For large scars, use multiple sheets to cover the area.
• You may secure with a light, non-damaging bandage if desired, but avoid tight binding.

Care, reuse and storage

The sheet is designed for reuse by the same patient when in good condition. After use, clean as directed and replace if deterioration is evident. Store unused sheets in their original container and keep them in a dry place below 25°C to maintain adhesion and performance over time.

• Keep in original container; store in a dry place below 25°C.
