Instructions for use - Scarban Silicone Finger
Scarban silicone finger is designed especially for the treatment of scars on fingers. The silicone finger 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.
Size Guide
The size of the silicone finger is determined based on the contour of the finger. Scarban finger tape is universally applicable.
Small (S) = 5.5 cm
Medium (M) = 6.5 cm
Large (L) = 7.5 cm
Extra Large (XL) = 8.5 cm
When you are in between sizes, choose the smaller size. This size applies more pressure to the scar, which benefits the healing process.
Step 1: Coat finger with a cream
Coat the finger that’s in need of treatment with a cream (for example, ALHYDRAN medical cream). This way it slides easily into the silicone finger.
Step 2: Slide finger into the silicone finger
Carefully pull the Scarban silicone finger over the finger that needs treatment.
Step 3: Slide finger into the compression sock
Pull the Scarban compression sock carefully over the silicone finger with back-and-forth movements. The compression sock will create a complementary scar treatment.
Step 4: How to remove the Scarban silicone finger
When removing the Scarban Finger, first remove the compression sock from the affected finger (from the bottom to the top). Next, carefully remove the silicone finger.
Scarban Finger Tape
Finger tape is a good alternative to the silicone finger, in case the silicone finger doesn’t fit well or if you prefer to use tape.
The super elastic silicone tape (30 x 2,5 cm | 11,8 x 1 inch) treats scars around a finger. Always start at the end of the finger and work towards the body (heart). Ensure an even pressure intensity distribution. Pressure also provides additional scar treatment.
