Cica-Care
Silicone Gel For Scar Treatment
Cica-Care Gel Sheet is a soft, self-adhesive, semi-occlusive silicone dressing consisting of sanitary silicone reinforced with a support membrane. Cica-Care is indicated both for the treatment of recent or pre-existing hypertrophic and keloid scars, and for the prophylaxis and prevention of closed (sutured) wounds. In addition to the benefits of using silicone gel sheets for the treatment of scars, Cica-Care adds those consisting of self-adhesive and long-lasting. The result is a good cost / benefit ratio and a better satisfaction (acceptability) of the patient for the treatment and prevention of scars.

| Benefits |
| Self-adhesive
The adhesive side of the dressing, made up of patented material, is placed directly in contact with the scar; the external side, covered with a thin silicone membrane, is not adhesive. A secondary adhesive dressing is therefore not essential, which makes Cica-Care easier to use and therefore more acceptable for the patient.
Durable
The association of the silicone membrane with the gel provides excellent support, therefore Cica-Care lasts longer and does not tend to "crumble", like other silicone gel sheets.
Conformable
Cica-Care is a very well conformable silicone gel sheet. Thanks to its self-adhesion, Cica-Care is easily applicable in many anatomical areas, including the earlobes and sternal areas.
Reusable
A piece of Cica-Care can be easily washed and reused. Only when it becomes difficult to achieve perfect cleansing is it time to replace it with a new one. One gel sheet generally lasts up to 28 days.
Good cost / benefit ratio.
The long life and the possibility of reuse alone explain the good cost / benefit ratio of Cica-Care.

| Contraindications / Precautions for use |
| In some patients, erythema has been observed on the skin covered by the dressing. This problem has been attributed to poor sanitation or dressing applied with excessive compression. Should erythema appear, reduce the
treatment with Cica-Care at 12 hours, followed by 12 hours of rest. If erythema persists, stop treatment and consult your doctor. On sutured surgical wounds, Cica-Care should only be applied after removal of the sutures and subsequent closure of the wound.
The use of Cica-Care is contraindicated in patients with pathologies that can interfere with the correct application of the product and in patients with dermatological problems that could make the skin in contact with the product more fragile and able to get irritated.
