Mepiform is a self-adherent silicone gel sheet for scar management. Ut is a thin, flexible, waterproof dressing featuring Safetac technology. Topical silicone empirically has been shown to have a positive impact on hypertrophic and keloid scars. Mepiform should optimally be worn 24 hours a day. It is recommended to remove Mepiform once a day (e.g., when showering or bathing) for inspection and washing of the skin. Mepiform should under normal conditions be changed every 3 - 7 days or when the adherent properties of the dressing are no longer sufficient. For prophylactic treatment, Mepiform should be used for 26 months depending on the condition of the scar.
