Epi-Derm and Epi-Derm Natural are the premium silicone gel sheeting available for scar management. Original clear Epi-Derm set the standard for comfort and quality more than 20 years ago, and is still regarded by surgeons as the superior choice in unlined silicone gel sheeting. The Mastopexy form is a silicone sheet for scars that is ideally dimensioned for breast reduction (mammoplasty) and breast reconstruction surgery. Mastopexy forms can be cut to size, and compliment the pairs of areola circles, sold separately.
Epi-Derm Sheeting: Medical Grade Polymerized Siloxanes (100% Clear Silicone Gel). Epi-Derm Natural adds a Lycra (Spandex) fabric liner
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Wash both scar and hands per cleaning instructions. Open the non-sterile pouch containing the Epi-Derm Silicone Gel Sheet. Remove the gel sheeting from the plastic substrate liner(s) prior to use. Epi-Derm may be cut into smaller pieces using scissors or a scalpel. Once you have determined the appropriate size of sheeting to use, apply tacky side to the scar. The gel sheeting should fully cover the scar and extend ¼ inch all the way around the scar border. If the product is worn during sleep, it should be secured. Use of medical tape (Epi-Tape) or other means is recommended to keep the sheet from falling off.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the Epi-Derm every 12 hours to wash both the scar and the gel sheet using SilqueClenz. In a basin of warm water, work up a small amount of lather with the soap. Gently wash the piece of gel sheeting in the soapy water, rinse, and then air dry. Make sure the sheeting is completely dry before reapplying to the scar. After washing, rinsing and drying the scar site reapply the piece of gel sheeting.
WEARING TIME
Optimal wearing time for Epi-Derm Silicone Gel Sheeting is 24 hours per day. If it is not possible to wear the gel sheet for the recommended 24-hour period, a minimum of 12 hours per day is required, washing per the instructions above once in that period. Follow this procedure each day, washing and reapplying the gel sheeting to the scar for 1 to 2 weeks. At that time the piece of gel sheeting will begin to lose its adhesive quality and/or may become embedded with surface dirt. When this occurs, discard the piece of gel sheeting and apply a new piece. The overall optimal period of use is usually 8 to 12 weeks.

Ok, so I was apprehensive about cutting the strip and completely ruining the strip. That part was easy. However, in 1st applying the left strip, I completely messed up. The strip rolled together, and I kept putting it on & taking it off to get it just right on my scar. Once I got the left down, I had a much easier time with the right side. As a result of my trial & error with the left side, that strip was left a little messier than the right. Nonetheless, I used my strips for about two months. I bought the medical tape & found that I only had problems with adhesion in the center of my breast. The tape was a waste because it didn't hold the strips in place. I would constantly have to adjust the tape. Once I was able to wear underwire bras, I felt the strip portion in the center stuck much better. After ridiculous amounts of washing (I didn't buy silique clean, but in hindsight, I should have), picking scabs off, rolling/sticking strips together with the ends also started to lose adhesion. I advise cutting the strips a little longer so once the ends start to go you just cut that portion off. Overall, the adhesion lasted a long time, and I could continue to use it. What it really comes down to is that my scars are healing nicely and I will (eventually) go back to using my strips :)
