Silicone gel: a new treatment for burn scars and contractures.

K Perkins, R B Davey, K A Wallis.   

Abstract

A new method of treatment for burn scar management is outlined using silicone gel sheets (Spenco Corporation MD-3071). The method has been applied to 42 patients with burns of varying degree and maturity. The results have been successful in all cases. The mode of action of the gel is unknown, but it does not rely on pressure. The method can easily be tailored to the individual needs of the scar and the patient. Individual initiative and a flexible approach to its use are advocated.
