Cica-Care is designed for the temporary use in the management of both existing and new hypertrophic scars and keloids. It is also indicated for use as a prophylactic therapy on closed wounds to help to prevent hypertrophic scarring and keloids. Although Cica-Care has been shown to be of value in scar therapy, its precise mode of action is unknown. Unlike other treatments for hypertrophic scar formation, the product does not require the application of pressure with bandages or specially designed garments. The use of the dressing is also claimed to reduce the need for surgical release, and its early use is thought to prevent scarring from interfering with function. Although the product is primarily intended for application to raised scar tissue, there are some early indications that it may be of use in the treatment of depressed scars.Title:Warnings,
