Advasil Conform - Silicone gel sheet for scar management

Product Description

Advasil Conform is a sheet of medical grade, self-adherent silicone gel for the management of scar tissue or recently healed wounds. Silicone gel sheets are reported to help reduce the effects of scarring if worn for prolonged periods. Hypertrophic and keloid scarring may particularly benefit from Advasil Conform.

Composed of a conformable layer of translucent Silfix silicone gel approved for skin contact, and a smooth polyurethane outer layer, Advasil Conform reduces pain and trauma at dressing changes, improving wearability and patient compliance.

Advasil Conform is washable and can be used for up to 28 days once open.

Instructions for Use

Remove Advasil Conform from the pack, remove the liner and place adhesive gel side to scar. For smaller scars Advasil Conform can be cut to size, ensure a portion of the pull tab remains after cutting. For larger scars Advasil Conform can be placed side by side. For additional support Advasil Conform can be held in place by medical tape, a crepe bandage or film dressing. Advasil Conform should be washed at least once daily with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using heavy soaps or detergents as they may cause disintegration of the silicone and/or skin irritation. Gently pat the product dry using a lint free cloth. Ensure the product is dry before re-applying to the skin or storing. When not in use, replace the liner and store in original packaging. It is important that the skin beneath the dressing is kept clean and dry, wash area daily.

Frequency of change

Wear time should be built up over a period of time to condition the skin, apply initially to the scar for a maximum of two hours. Add two hours a day until Advasil Conform can be worn comfortably for 24 hours. If during the conditioning period there is any irritation or allergic reaction remove Advasil Conform and seek medical attention. If the gel starts to disintegrate discard and use a new piece.

Silfix Technology

Advasil Conform has unique Silfix Technology designed to minimise trauma associated with dressing change.

Silfix Techonology ensures that Advasil Conform gently adheres to the skin surrounding a wound, and not to the wound bed itself, to minimise the pain and trauma associated with dressing application and removal.
