Cica-Care Description
Cica-Care gel sheet is a soft, self-adhesive, semi-occlusive sheet made from medical grade silicone reinforced with a silicone membrane backing.
Cica-Care Indications
Cica-Care is designed for the temporary use in the management of both existing and new hypertrophic scars and keloids. It is also indicated for use as a prophylactic therapy on closed wounds to help to prevent hypertrophic scarring and keloids.
Although Cica-Care has been shown to be of value in scar therapy, its precise mode of action is unknown. Unlike other treatments for hypertrophic scar formation, the product does not require the application of pressure with bandages or specially designed garments. The use of the dressing is also claimed to reduce the need for surgical release, and its early use is thought to prevent scarring from interfering with function. Although the product is primarily intended for application to raised scar tissue, there are some early indications that it may be of use in the treatment of depressed scars (although this remains to be confirmed in larger clinical studies).
Contra-indications
Cica-Care is contra-indicated for patient with complicating medical factors which would make them unable to use the gel sheet properly and in patients with dermatological conditions which disrupt the integrity of the skin in areas of coverage. It is not to be used on open wounds.
Cica-Care Method of use
Cica-Care is removed from the tray and a piece is cut to fit the size of the scar. The release liner is then removed and the adhesive side of the gel sheet is applied to the scar. Although self-adhesive, the product may also be held in place by a lightly elastic conforming bandage or tape. Cica- care should be washed in a mild, non-oily soap at least twice daily. Cica-Care should be applied at least 12 hours per day and if possible it should be applied for 24 hours per day.

Cica-Care Warnings
