NewGel+E 18 X 2 Abdomen/Extremity Silicone Scar Strip - CLEAR (1 Strip per box)

Designed for use on post-operative incision scars in the abdominal area such as scars from Caesarean-sections (C-Section) and abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck).

So how exactly do NewGel+ clear silicone abdomen strips for scars work? Through a combination of sealing the scar from exposure, hydration, elevated skin temperature, and constant light pressure, results can be seen in as a little as three weeks. Our silicone gel sheeting contains no latex and is made in the USA.

• Developed by doctors for use in hospitals and clinics, NewGel+ Abdomen Strips are specially formulated medical grade silicone gel sheeting, clinically proven to reduce, flatten, fade and smooth scars – both old and new.
• NewGel+ Abdomen Strips offer a safe, effective, non-invasive method to manage and improve scars in the abdominal area. They can be worn beneath undergarments.
• NewGel+ Abdomen Strips work through a combination of occlusion (seals the scar from exposure to air/bacteria), hydration, elevated skin temperature and continuous light pressure.
• Positive results can be seen in as little as 3 weeks.
• Clear backing is thinner and slightly more conformable than beige backing. 
• Contains no latex.
• Made in the U.S.A.
• Directions:
• Begin using NewGel+ when scar is closed and/or sutures have been removed. Do not use on any open wound.
• Remove NewGel+ from the package. If needed, cut and trim so that it extends at least 1/2 inch (1 centimeter) beyond the area to be treated.
• Wash and dry the area being treated every time you apply NewGel+.
• Peel off release liner and apply NewGel+, adhesive side down, directly on area being treated.
• Make sure the scar site is free of creams, lotions and ointments (including NewGel+E gel) as they will cause NewGel+ to lose adhesiveness.
• Although NewGel+ is self-adhesive, if needed, it can be secured with our NewGel+ Tape or NewGel+ Elastic Netting
• NewGel+ sheeting should be worn every day for 6 to 23 hours. For best results it can be worn continuously but should be removed once per day for inspection of the site and to allow the site to be washed and dried.
• NewGel+ should be worn every day for a minimum of 2 months. Additional improvement may occur with continued use up to 6 months.
• When NewGel+ becomes dirty or loses adhesiveness, wash gently with tap water and mild hand soap then air-dry before reapplying.
• If you have highly sensitive skin, begin using NewGel+ for 4 hours per day for the first 4 days to determine any possible reaction. Thereafter, increase usage time.
• NewGel+ should be replaced when it deteriorates, disintegrates or will no longer stick. Each piece should last 3 to 4 weeks.
• Keep packaging for storage of the product when not in use.

For Optimal Results:

• Use NewGel+ sheeting as your primary treatment and NewGel+E gel when sheeting would be inconvenient or hard to secure.
• Do not use both products at the same time.

Precautions:

• Do not begin using NewGel+ until your scar site is completely closed (sutures removed, no oozing)
• As with any product applied directly to the skin, some type of reaction (rash) may occur in people with sensitive skin.
• If a reaction occus, wash and dry the area and reapply the product for shorter periods.
• If a rash or serious itching continues, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
• Keep out of reach of children.
