Ciltech Scar Treatment Anti-Scar Gel

Description

The silicone solution to scarring…….

Hypertrophic and keloid scarring following surgery, burns or accidental trauma can  present difficulties for the sufferer, both in terms of cosmetic appearance and sometimes with reduced functionality or movement of the affected area

Since the 1980s, hypertrophic scars have been successfully treated through wound care by either silicone sheet or silicone gel treatments which result in partial occlusion and rehydration of the skin leading to a reduction of scar size, discolouration and prominence.

Sumed now gives the healthcare professional a single, simple source for silicone scar treatment, with substantial cost savings, in the form of the Ciltech® sheet and gel range.

The full range is available on FP10 and also available for purchase through UK Pharmacies.

General Guidance

• Before applying any Ciltech® treatment, wash skin in mild soap and water and dry thoroughly.

• Ciltech® should not be used on broken skin, wounds or mucous membranes.
• Do not use Ciltech® sheets or gel over topical steroids.
• For external use only.

Gel
