Gel Mate® is a medical grade silicone gel sheet for scar management. Gel Mate silicone gel sheeting is self adherent on one side and backed by an anti-microbial (bacteria resistant) cloth that glides under clothing on the other. Features: Soft, comfortable and reusable silicone gel sheeting. Self-adhesive on one side Gel Mate and Gel Mate Flex provide excellent conformability for small and large surfaces. Additional fixation may not be required. Medical grade silicone gel sheeting helps to flatten and soften raised scars and may prevent formation of hypertrophic (thickened) or Keloid scars. Anti-microbial outer fabric inhibits the growth of microbes. The fabric layer also increases the durability of the gel and makes it easy to wear under clothing. Silicone gel sheets help improve the colour and appearance of new or mature scars. Only silicone gel sheeting applies long-term light pressure on scars, unlike rub-on gels or creams. Silicone gel has also been shown to add a hydrating effect to the scar and surrounding skin that helps in increasing mobility and faster healing. Silicone gel sheeting is reported to reduce the itching and discomfort experienced when scars begin to heal. Individually packaged sheets include a measurement grid on the back to determine the amount of sheeting issued or to document progress as the scar reduces in size. Cost effective. Gel Mate and Gel Mate Flex are washable, reusable and long lasting. Sizing: Trim to a size slightly larger than the scar.
