Support of recently healed wounds

Supportive measures to avoid scars and to prevent recurrence of skin lesions after wound closed.

• Use a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology on frail skin and remove it gently. Do not use dressings with too high adhesive; High adherent dressings stick too hard and will harm the fragile skin and new skin tears will occur.
• Mild cleansing agents should be used to minimize irritation and dryness; a mild cleanser should be non-alkaline to maintain the skin's protective acid mantle. Force and friction applied to the skin during the cleansing process should be minimized.
• Apply a moisturizing agent to dry skin to keep it adequately hydrated.
• Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology for at least a couple of weeks in order to be sure tissues have regained sufficient tensile strength.
