Item number: NG-364

Uses: 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+ beige 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. What's the difference between our beige and clear backing? Our beige backing is thicker and more durable than our clear backing, while clear backing is thinner and more comfortable for the users. However, both are just as effective as the other and contain the same amount of silicone. 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. Beige backing is thicker and slightly more durable than the clear backing. Both are equally effective and contain the same amount of silicone.
• 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.
