Scarban Elastic Hand is a silicone glove to treat (abnormal) scars on an entire hand. This glove with silicone gel ensures optimal recovery of your scar and reduces scar complaints. This glove covers the vulnerable scar skin and reduces moisture loss. This ensures that the scar becomes smoother, flatter and less red. In addition, the plaster offers at least 93% protection against harmful UV radiation. Use the glove during the night, or day and night (at least 12 hours).
It is known that 50% of all scars become hypertrophic after surgery. It is therefore important to start treatment as soon as possible after complete wound closure. This allows the scar to heal as optimally as possible. You can treat the scar as long as you experience symptoms and the scar is active.
When a wound has healed, you may get a scar. To promote the healing of the scar, you can apply a silicone scar plaster over the closed skin. This can prevent your scar from causing complaints such as pain and itching, thickening or becoming red. Your scar will heal faster and more beautifully than without treatment. Silicone plasters can reduce complaints for both new and old scars. However, you will achieve the best result if you apply a scar plaster as soon as possible after the wound has closed.
Silicone patches promote the healing of a scar by protecting the skin. A silicone patch is an excellent covering for the vulnerable scar skin. It helps the skin to retain moisture, which stops the overproduction of scar tissue. It also stops bacteria. Because of this effect, silicone patches are recommended by professionals for scar treatment worldwide.
The size of the silicone glove is determined based on the circumference of the hand:
If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size. The smaller size ensures sufficient contact with the hand and gives more pressure on the scar.
Step 1
Rub the hand (especially the fingers) that require treatment with a cream (for example ALHYDRAN scar cream ). This will make it easier for the hand to slide into the glove.
Step 2
Turn the cuff of the glove outwards. When putting on the glove, the finger parts are carefully pulled over the fingers with a back and forth movement. Make sure that the glove is completely intact (do not cut the glove).
Step 3
When the glove is fully on, the cuff is folded back.
Pull out
When removing the silicone glove, the cuff is folded outwards. Gently pull the fingertips and slowly remove the glove.
