Scar dressings are an important aspect of wound care and play a crucial role in preventing and treating unattractive scars. When the skin's outer layer is damaged, the body will naturally form a scar as part of the healing process. While most scars eventually fade over time, some can become Hypertrophic and detract from one's appearance. To mitigate this, silicone gel sheeting can be used as a preventive and treatment method. This type of dressing helps to minimize the appearance of scars by reducing redness, itching, and discomfort, allowing for a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing outcome. By using a scar dressing, you can improve the appearance of scars and promote the healing process.
Mepiform scar dressing is a thin and flexible dressing that has a soft silicone layer specially designed for the prevention and treatment of scar. It can be used for old and new hypertrophic and keloid scars. This dressing can be worn during day to day activities and is safe to use. The back of the dressing is made of nonwoven fabric with polyurethane that is waterproof, and liquid and vapour permeable. This soft silicone dressing ensures minimal pain and trauma at dressing changes. In contact with the wound, the bandage doesn’t get stuck to the moistured wounds. It also doesn’t require any extra fixation. Mepiform can be worn for 24 hours a day but needs to be removed and then reapplied after cleaning of the scar area. This dressing is available in different sizes such as 5cm x 7cm, 4cm x 31cm and 9cm x 18cm.
