How to use NewMedical NewGel+ Silicone Strips?

• Begin using NewGel+E when the scar is closed and/, or sutures have been removed. Do not use it on any open wound
• Remove NewGel+ from the package. If needed, cut and trim so that it extends at least 1/2" (1cm) beyond the area to be treated
• Wash and dry the area being treated every time you apply NewGel+
• Peel off the release liner and apply NewGel+, adhesive side down, directly on the 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 for 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. After that, 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
