Maintains a healthy Moisture Balance

If a wound is too dry, a scab forms, which increases the risk of scar formation. If a wound is too wet, it increases the risk of infection. 2nd Skin® AquaHeal™ Hydrogel Bandages are able to give wounds a healthy balance by donating moisture to wounds that are dry and absorbing excess fluid.

What is Silicone? • Silicone is a synthetic polymer made of silicon, oxygen,

carbon and hydrogen.• It has rubberlike, non-stick, and heat-resistant properties.• Because of its different useful properties, silicone has a

wide array of uses in every day living. It is commonly used in automotive, cookware, medical applications, skin and hair care, sealants, adhesives, lubricants, and insulation.

Silicone on Scar Treatment• Use of silicone (sheeting and gel) on scars has been

around for more than three decades, first introduced in 1970s.

• Because of its ability to form watertight seals, resist oxygen, and inhibit microbial growth, it is ideal for treating wounds and scars and promote a quicker healing environment.

• Silicone is applied on scars mostly through sheeting or gel.

• First clinical trial done was done in the early 1980s.• Most effective on hypertrophic and keloid (raised) scars.

How does it Work?• Silicone keeps more moisture in the skin and decreases

the arrival of inflammatory mediators.• Suppresses collagen production, which when overproduced

can lead to thicker scar formation.• Provides an invisible layer of protection on the surface of

the skin which allows the scars to heal more rapidly.• Studies have demonstrated 80-100% improvement in

hypertrophic scar formation when silicone is applied to scars over time for at least 12 hours a day.

QUESTIONS

What preparations do I need to take

before using Spenco® 2nd Skin®

Scar Gel?

Always clean the scar and dry the area

before applying the gel. Remember not

to use this treatment on open wounds,

scabs or stitches. Ensure that the

wound is fully closed.

How long before I see the results?

For optimal results continue with the

treatment for as long as possible.

Results will differ from individual to

individual depending on the age and

severity of the scar. If used correctly,

permanent results should be visible

after 3-4 months.

Q&A How do hydrogels work?Hydrogels are produced as a gel with little firm structure (known as amorphous dressings), or as flat sheets with a gel component added (Morris, 2006). Despite the fact that hydrogels contain high levels of water themselves, they are usually made up of a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers, which are able to absorb moisture, such as wound fluid (exudate). Different hydrogels contain varying amounts of water, but none of them dissolve in the wound entirely, rather donating moisture to the wound bed (Moody, 2006). By keeping the wound moist, the hydrogel dressing assists in protecting your body from wound infection and promotes efficient healing. Hydrogels are designed to donate or absorb moisture and provide an ideal moist healing environment.

Why is a moist wound environment important?Maintaining a moist rather than a dry environment in the wound bed helps to promote wound healing, as it prevents dehydration of tissue and subsequent cell death, promotes angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels), and helps to erode dead tissue.

What type of wounds can a hydrogel be used on?Hydrogels can be used in dry, necrotic wounds to rehydrate the wound bed and provide a moist wound environment for healing (Field and Kerstein, 1994). However, hydrogels can also be used on sloughy, granulating (where new tissue connective is forming) and epithelialising wounds (where new skin is forming) (Moody, 2006).

Is the wound infected?Hydrogels can be used in infected wounds, as long as the patient is receiving systemic antibiotics and the dressing is changed regularly (Moody, 2006). However, caution should be exercised in patients who have peripheral vascular disease or if the wound contains gangrenous tissue, as the increase in moisture may spread infection (Jones, 1999).

Is the patient in pain?As they do not contain an adhesive, hydrogels can be an option for patients experiencing pain, as there is little trauma at dressing change. It should be remembered that if a secondary dressing is used to hold a hydrogel in place, this might have an adhesive component.

Does the wound need debriding?Hydrogels are designed to donate moisture to the wound, which provides a moist wound healing environment and, depending on the precise properties of the dressing, will aid autolytic debridement. Hydrogels can also be used together with sharp debridement (Vernon, 2000).

Removing a hydrogelHydrogels are easy to remove as they do have an adhesive component, making them ideal for fragile or torn skin and for ensuring pain-free dressing changes. Due to their composition and high water content, hydrogels do not leave fibres and adhesive material in the wound on removal.

Cost-effectivenessAlthough cost-effectiveness is important, choosing the cheapest hydrogel dressing is not necessarily the best thing to do, as dressing choice should always be guided by the patient’s needs. If a dressing fails to perform well, more frequent dressing changes will be needed incurring greater nursing time.
