Cica-Care is designed for the temporary use in the management of both existing and new hypertrophic scars and keloids. It is also indicated for use as a prophylactic therapy on closed wounds to help to prevent hypertrophic scarring and keloids.
Although Cica-Care has been shown to be of value in scar therapy, its precise mode of action is unknown. Unlike other treatments for hypertrophic scar formation, the product does not require the application of pressure with bandages or specially designed garments. The use of the dressing is also claimed to reduce the need for surgical release, and its early use is thought to prevent scarring from interfering with function. Although the product is primarily intended for application to raised scar tissue, there are some early indications that it may be of use in the treatment of depressed scars.
Caution before using the Cica-Care Silicone Gel Sheet:
- Cica-Care is contra-indicated for patients with complicating medical factors which would make them unable to use the dressing properly and in patients with dermatological conditions which disrupt the integrity of the skin in areas of coverage.
- Do not use on open or infected wounds.
- Do not use on skin currently affected by acne.
- Follow instructions for use carefully.
- Do not use unless skin surrounding the scar or closed wound is normal.
- Do not use with ointments or creams under the gel sheet.
- In some patients a rash has been observed on the scar and surrounding skin. Should a rash occur, reduce Cica-Care therapy time to 12 hours on, 12 hours off. If the rash persists discontinue use and consult your physician or medical advisor.
- On surgical incisions, use Cica-Care only after sutures have been removed.
