Same Plast Silicone Patch for Scars and Keloids 7x20 cm

Same Plast Silicone Patch for Scars and Keloids 7x20 cm it's a medical device made of a layer of medical silicone spread out on a conformable support, in a sheet of 7x20 cm which is cut to the size of the scar. Contributes to prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars or of keloids and to improve its aesthetic appearance, and is used on closed scars and lesions completely healed.

The silicone of these sheets is a polydimethylsiloxane cross-linked, i.e. an inert rubber: it is not absorbed by the skin and does not release anything. The way it works is purely physical, and that's the reason it works even while inert: the paper occludes and hydrates the stratum corneum, reduces the transepidermal water loss and in this way modulates the activity of fibroblasts and the summary of collagen, favoring the scar maturation. Silicone is useful for recent scars, raised scars and scars that tend to thicken.

The research itself says that it is the occlusion that works, and not a substance: other semi-occlusive materials such as paper plasters or polyurethane films have also proven effective, and it is precisely this that indicates the mechanism in occlusion. Silicone, in gel or sheet form, is today considered the first-line non-invasive treatment for hypertrophic scars, and the preferred size in prevention on wounds at risk. The silicone sheet is useful in case of already healed surgery, cut and burn scars.

Between the sheet and the gel to spread, the difference is not the effectiveness but the practicality: the gel is preferred on the face, on very mobile areas and on large surfaces, while the sheet gives continuous coverage and can be checked visually. This is it cuttable with a margin of at least one centimeter around the scar, self-adhesive e repositionable: it is peeled off and reapplied, and replaced when it loses adhesion. The maturation of a scar is a process of weeks, and it is on that scale that occlusion works.

Same Plast of Savoma Medicines of Parma, is a medical device in a single sheet from 7x20 cm. In the same line exists Same Plast Gel, which bears the same name but it is not a silicone gel: it is based on onion extract, allantoin, urea and hyaluronic acid. They are two different products.
