Features Self-adhesive silicone gel layer Reusable Non-adherent outer silicone membrane Benefits Improves the Appearance of Scars CICA-CARE has been medically proven in patient trials to be effective, flattening, softening and fading red and raised scars, both old and new in up to 90% of cases. Easy to Use The CICA-CARE adhesive gel sheet is soft, comfortable and simple to apply. It can be cut to size to fit most scars. Durable and reusable, it can be used day or night. Self Adhesive The skin contact side of CICA-CARE is self adhesive, while the upper side is a strengthening non-adhesive silicone membrane. Therefore secondary fixation may not be required, making the product more user friendly, and can lead to higher patient compliance. Durable The silicone membrane and gel combination make CICA-CARE more durable and less likely to “crumble” in comparison to other silicone gel sheets. Conformable CICA-CARE is a very conformable silicone gel sheet. Because it is self-adhesive, CICA-CARE can be easily used in many awkward anatomical locations, including earlobes and sternal areas.
