Instructions for use - Scarban Silicone Hand
Scarban silicone hand is designed especially for the treatment of scars on hands and fingers. The glove is made for scars that are caused by deep damage to the skin from burn wounds, surgery, trauma or skin disease. Follow the practical tips below. And always follow your doctor’s or therapist’s advice regarding this product.
Instruction for use
1. Use Scarban only after complete wound closure (after removal of sutures and disappearance of any scabs).
2. Make sure that an area of 2 cm bordering the scar is also covered by the silicone sheet. If necessary, the Scarban silicone sheet can be cut to the correct size.
3. For good adhesion and durability of the Scarban silicone sheets, remove hair around the scar site.
4. Clean and dry the skin thoroughly before applying the sheet.
5. Please build up the wearing time of Scarban carefully, so your skin can get used to the silicone.
6. For best results, it is important to use Scarban silicone sheets on the scar for at least twelve consecutive hours, every day. Maximum 20 hours.
7. For good hygiene and in order to maintain adhesion, Scarban silicone sheets should be cleaned daily (e.g. while showering). Rub the sheet with a few drops of Scarban silicone cleaning soap or neutral soap. This keeps the silicone in good condition and maintains good adhesion.
Duration of use
Each pack of Scarban contains one or more silicone sheets. If used correctly and cared for properly (according to the instructions for use), each pack of Scarban Elastic is sufficient for approximately 4 to 8 weeks of treatment. Each pack of Scarban Light is sufficient for approximately 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. In the event of long-term therapy, several packs may therefore be necessary.
Size Guide
Please pay close attention to the sizing of the hand bandage. The size is determined by the outline of the hand:
Small (S) = 18 – 19 cm
Medium (M) = 20 – 21 cm
Large (L) = 22 – 23 cm
Extra Large (XL) = > 24 cm
Step 1: Put cream on the hand
Lubricate the hand (especially the fingers) that need treatment with a cream (e.g. ALHYDRAN medical cream). This allows the hand to slide easily into the Scarban silicone glove.
Step 2: Put on the Scarban silicone glove
Flap the cuff of the Scarban silicone glove outward. As you put the glove on, gently pull the finger sections over your fingers with back-and-forth movements. Once the glove is fully on, the cuff must be folded back.
Step 3: How to remove the silicone glove
When removing the Scarban silicone glove, first fold the cuff outward. Pull carefully at the fingertips of the glove and gently remove it.
