Opti-Heal Silicone Scar & Wound Recovery Strips are soft, thin and reusable self-adhesive silicone gel strips. They are effective for the management of both new and old hypertrophic or keloid scars, closed wounds, cuts and abrasions, once they have fully closed. They make scars look lighter, flatter and faded.
The Opti-Heal Silicone Scar & Wound Recovery Strips are suitable for cleaning with plain soap and clean warm water, allowing each strip to be worn for up to 28 days. This means a pack of three Scar Strips offers up to 84 days of scar coverage, far more than single use products. To wash, simply rinse the product thoroughly, removing all traces of soap, a fragrance free soap is recommended. Allow the product to air dry or pat it with a lint free towel before reapplying to the affected area.

Constructed from silicone they feature gentle removal for easy repositioning and the soft silicone conforms to the body for added comfort and is suitable for sensitive skin. Featuring good adhesion, these scar reducers are suitable for short and long term use and are showerproof for lasting wear, protecting from dirt and germs.
