Mode of Use/Application

Open the packaging and remove the dressing. If necessary, cut to appropriate size, allowing minimum overlap of 1cm. When applying Mepiform® Soft Silicone Gel Sheeting for Scar Management, make sure the area is dry. When used together with ointment or cream, ensure the dressing covers an area beyond the cream. Remove the release film and apply Mepiform® over the scar/wound. Avoid stretching when applying over joints.

Mepiform® Soft Silicone Gel Sheeting for Scar Management should optimally be worn for 24 hours a day.

Removal & Change Frequency

Remove the dressing once per day for inspection and washing of the skin. The dressing can then be reapplied. Mepiform® Soft Silicone Gel Sheeting for Scar Management should, under normal conditions, be changed every three to seven days or when the adherent properties of the dressing are no longer sufficient. Mepiform® is moisture-proof and can be worn while bathing and showering.
