Silicone Gel Sheet for Effective Scar Management :

• The skin can be damaged in multitude of ways that can be a burden to the patient particularly when it develops into red and raised hypertrophic and keloid scarring. Restriction of movement as well as itching can cause great discomfort and emotional distress. Unacceptable scarring can be induced by a variety of factors including burns, accidental trauma and chronic wounds.
• A scar is part of the normal process of healing. The type of scar that forms can depend on a variety of factors including the nature of the injury, the part of the body, size and depth of the wound. Scars mostly consist of a protein called collagen, which is the most common tissue in the body.
• Keloid scarring is the result of build up of collagen in the area, making the scar larger than the actual size of the wound whereas hypertrophic scarring is without the excess collagen build up so that the scar is confined to the original wound area.
• The Silicone Gel Sheet is derived from high quality polysiloxane material. It is believed that it promotes
• hydration of the scar area and the concept has been medically proven to improve the appearance by softening, flattening and fading red and raised scars. Some injuries will leave a flat white scar that will normally fade away in time and Lysil is not recommended for these type of scars.

Salient Features :

• F Excellent biocompatibility as per EN ISO 10993 standards
• F Extreme purity
• F Enhanced performance
• F Permeable to water vapour
• F Air permeable
• F Reinforced with fine Dacron fabric which enhances the durability and handling properties
• F Preserves the skin elasticity and effectively prevents tissue from drying out

Indications :

• F Red and raised, old and new scars
• F Hypertrophic scars
• F Keloids
• F Treatment of erythema following resurfacing treatments with CO lasers, chemical peels 2
• and dermabrasion

Instructions for use :

• F Wash hands before and after use.
• F Clean the scar with a mild soap and rinse with warm water. Thoroughly dry the scar and surrounding
• skin.
• F Remove the Lysil™ from the pack.
• F Cut the gel sheet to a required size to suit the scar area.
• F Remove the plastic liner sheet.
• F Place the gel sheet, adhesive side to the scar, without stretching. If necessary a light bandage or tape can
• be used to keep the Lysil™ in place.
• F Initially for two to three days, use Lysil™ for 2-4 hours. For next two days use for 4-8 hrs each day.
• Then increase the wear time to 12-24 hours.
• F Clean the Lysil™ with a mild soap and rinse well and dry with a non fluffy / lint free towel as and when
• it is required.
• F Wash the scar and the surrounding skin area with soap, rinse well and dry.
• F Lysil™ should be replaced when the thickness of sheet is reduced beyond its usability.
• F Lysil™ has to be used for 2-4 months to get a very good result.
