Remove both sides of plastic prior to use.4.The gel sheet may be cut into smaller pieces using scissors or a scalpel. Once you have determined the appropriate size of sheeting to use, apply tacky side to the scar. The gel sheeting should fully cover the scar and extend ¼ inch all the way around the scar border.5.The exposed surface of the gel sheeting may be covered with surgical tape or bandage to help hold in place and to prevent sticking to other surfaces. With proper cleaning and average wear-and-tear, each Epi-Derm sheet can last 2-3 weeks. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONSRemove the gel sheet every 12 hours to wash both the scar and the gel sheet. Gently wash the piece of gel sheeting with antibacterial soap or Silcskin cleanser, rinse, and then air dry. After washing, rinsing and drying the scar site re-apply the piece of gel sheeting. WEARING TIMEOptimal wearing time for Biodermis Silicone Gel Sheeting is 24 hours per day. If it is not possible to wear the gel sheet for the recommended 24 hour period, a minimum of 12 hours per day is required, washing per the instructions above once in that period. Follow this procedure each day, washing and re-applying the gel sheeting to the scar for 1 to 2 weeks. At that time the piece of gel sheeting will begin to lose its adhesive quality and/or may become embedded with surface dirt. When this occurs, discard the piece of gel sheeting and apply a new piece. The overall optimal period of use is usually 8 to 12 weeks. For further Information: Epi-Derm Information Sheet Epi-Derm FAQ's How does it work?Scars need an “ideal healing environment,” meaning the appropriate balance of moisture and maximum exposure to oxygen. Epi-derm™ is a fully-encapsulating sheet — it completely covers the scar treatment site for uniform treatment of the entire site. Although the entire site is covered, Epi–derm™ is semi-permeable, allowing oxygen to enter while keeping excess moisture out — the ideal environment for healing scar tissue.
