Step 1. Wash hands before and after use. Step 2. Gently clean the scar and surrounding skin with a mild soap and rinse in clean warm water. Thoroughly dry the scar and surrounding skin. Step 3. Peel lid from tray and remove CICA-CARE Gel Sheet with printed plastic sheet still attached. Step 4. For small scars, cut gel sheet to fit scar size, with a small overlap over the surrounding skin (A). To facilitate ease of removal, ensure that the cut piece includes the removal flap on the printed plastic sheet. For large scars, use several sheets side by side. Step 5. Remove printed plastic sheet (B). Step 6. Apply gel sheet, adhesive side to the scar, without stretching (C). Although self-adhesive, CICA-CARE Gel Sheet may also be held in place by a light elastic conforming bandage or tape such as OPSITE◊ FLEXIFIX Roll or PRIMAFIX◊ Tape. Do not hold the gel sheet too tightly against the scar as this can lead to irritation of the scar and the surrounding area. Throw away hygienically after use.
Do not use on open wounds. Do not use on skin affected by dermatological conditions (e.g. psoriasis & acne). Do not use unless skin surrounding scar is normal and wound is fully healed. In some patients, a rash has been observed on the covered skin. This has been attributed to either poor hygiene or to the product being applied too tightly. Should a rash appear, reduce CICA-CARE Gel Sheet treatment time to 12 hours followed by 12 hours rest. If the rash persists, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional. On surgical incisions, use CICA-CARE Gel Sheet only after sutures have been removed and the site is fully healed. Follow acclimatisation and washing procedures carefully. Use of CICA-CARE Gel Sheet is not recommended on young children unless used in combination with an appropriate secondary retention dressing. Do not use with ointments or creams under gel sheet. Should any signs of irritation (reddening, inflammation), maceration (over-hydration of skin), hypergranulation (excess tissue) or sensitivity (allergic reactions) appear, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
