Arrow Product details

KELO-COTE® Scar Sheets provide a semi-occlusive layer on top of the skin, which results in increased hydration of the skin (epidermis) to help scars become flatter, smoother and reduce complaints like persistent redness, "pulling" sensations, itching, restriction of joint movement, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns. KELO-COTE® Silicone Sheets C-section provide UV protection (UPF30).

 

KELO-COTE® Silicone Scar Sheets are suitable for the treatment and prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from trauma / accident scars, surgical scars and burns. KELO-COTE® Silicone Scar Sheets are designed for both old and new scars. The self-adhesive, washable, and reusable sheets help with persistent functional complaints like persistent redness, “pulling” sensations, itching, restriction of joint movement, discomfort and cosmetic concerns caused by the scar. KELO-COTE® Silicone Scar Sheets can be used under clothing and in compression therapy.

 

Key Features:
  • Silicone sheets are clinically proven to reduce the appearance of raised C-section scars.
  • Silicone Sheets is a gold standard non-invasive therapy for prevention and treatment of Hypertrophic and Keloid scars.
  • Kelo-Cote C-section scar sheets have a curved shape designed for comfort, a flexible sheet that can be cut to size to suit individual scar sizes.
  • KELO-COTE® sheets are lightweight and can be worn discreetly under clothing

How to use

Please read the enclosed leaflet carefully before use.

  • For an optimum result, it is best to start using KELO-COTE® Scar Sheets immediately after wound closure (after removal of sutures and the disappearance of any scabs).
  • It is recommended to gradually build up the length of application of KELO-COTE® Scar Sheets to a maximum of 23 hours a day.
  • The purpose of building up gradually is to allow the skin to become accustomed to the silicone. For the best possible results, the silicone sheets should be worn for a minimum of 12 to a maximum of 23 hours a day.
  • If necessary, KELO-COTE® Scar Sheets can be cut to the correct size. Ensure that the silicone sheet covers the scar. Ensure good adhesion and durability of the silicone sheet by removing any hair around the scar site.
  • Thoroughly clean and dry the skin before applying the silicone sheet on and around the scar.
  • Remove the protective film from the back of the silicone sheet and apply silicone sheet to the scar, if necessary, the silicone sheet can be fixed in place with an adhesive or elastic bandage.
  • The skin may be treated with a hydrating cream after removing the silicone sheet.
  • It takes at least 3-6 months for a scar to normalise. Use the KELO-COTE® Scar Sheets as long as the scar is raised, red or causes complaints.
  • Consult a healthcare professional about the duration of therapy.
