ScarBan® - Silicone Gel & Silicone sheets Info
Silicone is the clinical gold standard for scar treatment and scar prevention having demonstrated clinical efficacy over all other forms of topical treatments and is recommended by the International Advisory Panel on Scar Management.
Purpose: ScarBan® softens surgical incisions and improves colour, size, and texture of the scar. ScarBan® can also enhance the results from Keloid scars and burns as well as Hypertrophic scars.
How long after surgery should I apply ScarBan® or ScarBan® Sheet?
Apply ScarBan once the wounds have completely closed up. This is generally 2/3 weeks.
For open surgery - apply once the sutures have been trimmed or removed. This is usually two weeks after surgery.
How long before I see an improvement in my scar?
Scar management can vary depending on the person and scar. Whilst some improvement might be observed within days of using ScarBan® or ScarBan® Sheet, the best results are often achieved during a period of 2 - 4 months, although this can sometimes be much longer.
How do you apply the ScarBan Sheets?
Cut the sheet with scissors if needed to the desired length. Product should overlap edge of scar by 1/4”. Apply after peeling the plastic protective sheeting from one of the sides of the silicone. Place the sticky side against your scar. ScarBan Sheets are durable, comfortable and re-usable, ideal for day and night use.
For how long does the ScarBan® Sheet last?
Used as directed, ScarBan® Sheet can be expected to last for about 2 months.
How often should I wash the ScarBan® Sheet?
The ScarBan® Sheet should be washed at least on a daily basis with a mild soap solution which comes included in this particular product (50ml silicone cleaning soap). It should be rinsed well and dried by shaking the sheet and then patting dry with a smooth fabric cloth before re-applying.
Do I need to use adhesive tape or bandage to secure the ScarBan® Sheet?
Although there is no adhesive layer on the ScarBan® Sheet, it has an inherent adhesivity which provides a good 'cling' property to the skin. However, you may need to stabilise and secure the sheet in position with a strip of hypoallergenic tape.
Is ScarBan® and ScarBan® Sheet suitable for use on all the family?
Yes. The purity of ScarBan® products is assured. ScarBan® products are safe for use on adults and children alike.
When would it be appropriate to use ScarBan® rather than ScarBan® Sheet?
Although it really depends on the person’s preference, patients who had breast procedures done find using ScarBan Sheets more easy to use than applying gel every day.
