P-DERM® Silicone Gel Adhesives

Silicone gels form a thin and flexible wound covering. Silicone sheets are soft wound covers composed of cross-linked polymers reinforced with or bonded to mesh or fabric. These dressings can be used in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars to improve appearance, as well as help prevent the formation of these kind of scars.
Hypertrophic scars can be caused by poorly designed surgical wound closure, too much tension applied to a surgical wound closure, a wound infection, or partial- and full-thickness burns. Hypertrophic scars tend to be limited to within the original margins of the wound. Keloid scars result from an inherited metabolic alteration in collagen, and often extend beyond the original margins of the wound.
