nbgs ScarSilk Medical Grade Silicone Scar Pad Description

nbgs ScarSilk Medical Grade Silicone Scar Pad is intended for use in the management of closed hyperproliferative scars, both old and new hypertrophic or keloid scars resulting from burns, surgical procedures or trauma wounds.

Each PAD contains: Medical Grade Silicone

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

The exact mechanism of action in improving the appearance of scar tissue from using silicone remains unknown. However, various suggestions have been made to explain the efficacy of silicone sheets, including hydration, pressure, temperature, oxygen transmission and silicone absorption. There is some evidence that the treatment affects the stratum corneum and, by reducing evaporation, restores better homeostasis in the tissue. In keloid and hypertrophic scarring, the stratum corneum allows more evaporation of water from the underlying tissue than occurs in normal skin. Silicone pads may prevent this, keeping the stratum corneum in optimal hydration and protecting the skin from environmental hazards, both of which can reduce abnormal scarring. The gel may also affect the stratum corneum by inhibiting mast cell activity, diminishing edema, vasodilatation and excessive extracellular matrix formation but the simple changes in temperature, pressure, oxygen tension and hydration produced by wound coverage probably constitute the main mechanism of action. Another hypothesis is that the effect of static electricity on silicone may influence the alignment of collagen deposition.
