Scar management dressings

Scar management dressings

Mepiform and Cica-Care are the silicone scar dressings most people mean when they search for silicone scar tape. These are post-healing scar therapy, used once a wound has closed to soften, flatten, and fade raised or reddened scars over weeks of wear.

Medical-grade silicone sheets are worn over the scar and reused, which is what separates them from a single-use wound dressing. Worth keeping clear: scar dressings are for closed, healed skin. For silicone wound-contact layers used on open wounds, the silicone dressings collection is the right one.

FAD holds Molnlycke's Mepiform and Smith and Nephew's Cica-Care, so the choice is about the scar and the fit, not a single brand. A silicone sheet is typically worn for much of the day over several weeks, lifted and reapplied as part of a daily routine. Our wound care resource explains where scar care sits in the healing timeline.

Both come in sizes to suit small surgical scars through to longer lines.

Always read the instructions for use.
