5. Each scar patch can be used continuously. It can be cleaned with warm water after soiling, and can still be used after air drying or hair dryer drying. This product can be used continuously for about one month.
Scar patch 1 Precautions for use. Scar patch must be used after the wound is healed, and incomplete healed wounds and uncut wounds are prohibited.
2. If blisters, rashes or slight soaking occur during use, stop using it until the symptoms disappear, and gradually increase the use time until 24 o'clock every day.
3. The scar patch can be reused. After the rubber surface is stained, it can be cleaned with warm water, and it can still be used after drying in the shade until the rubber surface loses its stickiness.
4. When using, gently remove the sticker, please use it under the guidance of a doctor.
How to choose and buy scar stickers I. Approval number
The first choice depends on the authentication number. Generally, there can be scars, which can remove scars and interfere with scar hyperplasia.
Traceable products will have the approval number of the US Food and Drug Administration, and the standard format of the approval number is:
1, domestic approval number
For example, Zhejiang (Zhun) Zi No.2640565 (2008), the first word in the front is generally the abbreviation of the province approved by the local drug administration, followed by the approval year and approval number.
Generally, most of these approval numbers are domestic scar stickers, but some products are indeed domestic.
Foreign production, but for the convenience of declaration and the need of technology introduction, imported products are submitted for approval as domestic products.
2. Import approval number:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (J) No.2640769, generally the approval number indicates that the product was imported from abroad.
Products that can treat and prevent scars need to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to be effective. Because such products have been proved to be effective and effective after many years of clinical experiments, and there are no side effects such as harm to human body, the relevant approval documents can be issued after examination and approval by the state regulatory authorities.
For those products without the approval number, it is recommended that you do not buy them, because these products have not been analyzed and certified by professionals, and it is difficult to judge the safety and related efficacy. If these products meet the standards in terms of safety and effectiveness, they can declare a special approval number.
As long as all silicone scar paste products have the approval number, they can be used in
Data query in the column of medical devices), it is recommended that you buy products without approval number.
Second, the thickness
The thickness of silicone scar patch can reflect the production process and product quality of scar patch. Generally speaking, it is easier to make thick products than to make thin ones. Generally, a thin scar patch is breathable, which will make human skin feel comfortable, and there will be no allergies, rashes and other phenomena after long-term use. This is very important for scar stickers, because scar stickers are products that need to be used for a long time every day. If it is uncomfortable without ventilation, it will cause a lot of discomfort to the user. Especially when the scar is attached to the hidden part of the body, it will be embarrassing and uncomfortable to itch. Generally, the thickness of a good scar patch is mostly controlled within1mm.
Third, stickiness.
Stickiness is a very important index of scar paste. At first, when people didn't find that silica gel could treat scars, most of them used pressure therapy. What is the principle? One tight, two early, three lasting? . It is necessary to put pressure on the scar surface for a long time, and the sooner the better. How can scar paste be tightened?
A very important factor is strong stickiness. As long as it is firm, it can be firmly attached to the scar surface, which can have a better effect on the scar.
In addition, if the scar patch is not sticky enough and a little sweat stains are stuck, it will fall off and slide, which will not only fail to achieve the therapeutic effect, but also affect the quality of life and mood.
Products with poor viscosity will not stick after washing several times. Generally, this kind of products can't be used after 10, which not only can't achieve good therapeutic effect, but also increases the treatment cost.
I saw a lot of scar stickers on the Internet, with adhesive tape and elastic sleeves. I really want to ask, is this to sell scar stickers or tape? Ha ha. . . . .
Four, product toughness, tensile strength
The scar patch must have a certain tension, because the scar patch with strong tension is generally stronger and has a longer service life. More importantly, the scar patch with strong tension can exert a certain pressure on the scar surface when used, thus having a better effect on treating scars.
Tension acts on the scar surface, which makes the scar paste and the scar surface stick more firmly, and the use effect will be better.
Transparent scar stickers generally have strong tensile force, but some poor quality scar stickers are easy to break, let alone rebound!
Verb (short for verb) strength
The strength of the scar patch itself determines the effect and use time of the scar patch.
Some scar patches are coated with a thin layer of silica gel directly on nylon backing due to technical problems, and its therapeutic effect and strength can be imagined.
Some scar stickers are not strong enough. If you pull along the four corners of the scar patch casually, the silicone will spread out like tofu residue. How long can a product like this last?
There are also some scar paste products. After cleaning 1, they are completely deformed after two times. Can such a scar patch guarantee a good curative effect?
After buying a scar patch, you can try it yourself by referring to these methods, and you will know the quality of the scar patch!
Intransitive verb model
At present, there are two main types of scar stickers:
1, cleaning paste, also known as transparent paste, transparent paste is all made of silicone, transparent in nature, suitable for exposed parts of the body, such as hands, face, neck, neck, etc. Because of its transparency, it does not affect the appearance after pasting. Although there are many transparent patches, their characteristics are different, so you need to choose the transparent patch that suits your skin best. If others don't look carefully, they don't know if they have posted a scar sticker, but they still can't see the scar.
Cleaning paste is suitable for sticking exposed parts, not for non-exposed parts of the body such as abdomen, chest and back, because both sides of cleaning paste are silica gel, and the surface of silica gel is soft, which often rubs against clothes and is easy to shift or fall off, which affects the therapeutic effect.
2, back patch, also known as nylon patch, nylon patch is to brush or press silicone on nylon, so that scar patch has better strength and is more suitable for non-exposed parts of the body. When the nylon patch is attached to non-exposed parts of the body such as abdomen, chest and back, the silicone surface is attached to the scar surface, while the nylon surface directly faces the clothes, so that the clothes are not easy to rub the scar patch, thus ensuring that the scar patch is not easy to fall off.
Therefore, when choosing a scar patch, you must choose a scar patch that suits you.
Seven. width
At present, there are many scar stickers in the market, and the length can be cut according to the length of the scar surface. But the width is different. At present, there is no hard and fast regulation on the width of scar paste. But generally speaking, the most suitable width of scar patch is: extending along both sides of scar 1 cm is the most suitable treatment for scar, that is, the width of scar patch should not be less than 3 cm. If the width of the scar patch is too narrow, it will affect the effect of the scar patch on the scar and fail to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
There are also scar stickers with a width of 2.5 cm on the market, which are only suitable for very slight and thin scar surfaces.
Eight, use time
A very important indicator of scar patch is the use time. Generally, the reuse time of scar plaster is less than 1 month. But there are some good scar stickers that can be used repeatedly for 3 months.
Some domestic scar patches can only be used for 3 or 5 days. Such a scar patch seems to be cheap, but in fact, the unit price for treating scars is more expensive. Because the scar treatment room is a long-term process, it takes at least 3-6 months to have obvious effects.
Therefore, products with high unit price can really treat scars well, and the treatment cost is more reasonable.
The service time of the scar patch is the concentrated expression of the comprehensive performance index of the scar patch. Only when the strength, toughness, viscosity and tensile strength of the product meet higher requirements can the scar patch be used for a longer time.
