Opti-Heal Silicone Scar & Wound Recovery Strips are soft, thin and reusable self-adhesive silicone gel strips. They are effective for the management of both new and old hypertrophic or keloid scars, closed wounds, cuts and abrasions, once they have fully closed. They make scars look lighter, flatter and faded.
The Opti-Heal Silicone Scar & Wound Recovery Strips are suitable for cleaning with plain soap and clean warm water, allowing each strip to be worn for up to 28 days. This means a pack of three Scar Strips offers up to 84 days of scar coverage, far more than single use products. To wash, simply rinse the product thoroughly, removing all traces of soap, a fragrance free soap is recommended. Allow the product to air dry or pat it with a lint free towel before reapplying to the affected area.
They are translucent for easy monitoring of the affected area as it heals. Constructed from silicone they feature gentle removal for easy repositioning and the soft silicone conforms to the body for added comfort and is suitable for sensitive skin. Featuring good adhesion, these scar reducers are suitable for short and long term use and are showerproof for lasting wear, protecting from dirt and germs.
* Can ONLY be used on closed wounds, cuts and abrasions, once they have fully closed, to aid in the prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scars.
Ensure the strip is the appropriate size for the wound/scar. The strip should be ½ inch larger than the wound/scar. The strip can be cut to the appropriate size for the wound/scar. Holes may be cut in the material to accommodate fingers or toes.
- Always wash hands before and after use.
- Gently clean and dry application area.
- Remove the strip from the wrapper.
- Remove the backing film and save for later use.
- Place the adherent side of the strip against the wound/scar, without stretching.
- Keep the strip in place for at least 12 hours and up to 23 hours per day. If required, a fixation aid such as tape, netting or a pressure garment may be used to hold the strip in place.
To allow the skin to acclimatize, begin by applying the product for 4 hours per day for the 1st two days, gradually increasing by 2 hours per day until the optimal therapy time is obtained. - When the strip begins to deteriorate or cleaning is difficult, it should be replaced. Each strip should not be used for longer than 28 days. A good healing effect is usually achieved after continuous use of the strip for 2 to 4 months.
At least twice a day, remove the strip, wash the affected area and both sides of the product with plain soap and clean warm water. Do not use a soap that contains moisturizers, lotions or oils. A plain fragrance free soap is recommended, avoid detergents as it may lead to skin irritation. Rinse the product thoroughly to remove all traces of soap. Allow the product to air dry or pat it dry with a lint free towel before reapplying.
Between uses, store the product on the Backing film.
