Mepiform® is a self-adherent soft silicone dressing for scar care and designed for the management of hypertrophic and keloid scars.Topical silicone has empirically been shown to have positive impact on hypertrophic and keloid scars.
Mepiform should optimally be worn for 24 hours a day. Remove the dressing once per day for inspection and washing of the skin. The dressing can then be reapplied. Mepiform should under normal conditions be changed every 3 - 7 days or when the adherent properties of the dressing are no longer sufficient.
It is recommended that Mepiform is removed once a day (e.g., when showering or bathing) for inspection and washing of the skin. For prophylactic treatment, Mepiform should be used for 2–6 months depending on the condition of the scar.
