Silagen- Ab/Extremity Strips in Clear (24 x 2") #7364

Silagen strips are a silicone sheeting that aids in the appearance and texture of scars. These strips are clear and intended for use in the abdomen/extremity area.

1. Begin use after 2 weeks (you may begin using the strips once the wound has closed - no bleeding or oozing) and after any stitches have been removed.
2. Do not put on open wounds.
3. Ensure scar area is clean and dry, as well as free from creams, lotions, ointments and powders.
4. Apply strip on to scar/area desired for treatment. 
5. Allow to dry.
6. Once dry, cosmetics and compression garments may be used over the scar.
7. Use twice daily for 8-12 weeks for optimal results. Patients who use Silagen consistently twice a day for 2 months get the best results.
8. If you are prone to forming excessive scars (hypertrophic or keloid) you may want to continue treatment for up to 6 months.
9. Do not use the sheets in combination with the Silagen gel or additional strips. They will not stick to the skin if you do.
