Kelo-Cote
Alliance Pharmaceuticals

Kelo-Cote

Clinically-proven, topical silicone gel for the management and prevention of old and new scars. It is self-drying and forms a bond with the outer layer of skin cells to form a flexible, breathable, waterproof barrier, providing hydration and protection to the scar. This creates an environment which allows the scar to mature through normalised collagen synthesis cycles and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar. Kelo-cote is available with additional UV SPF 30 for areas that require additional protection, such as face, neck and hands, and a spray, ideal for joints, flexures, hairy areas or sensitive scars such as those caused from burns.

Medigarments

Scar Fx

Silicone sheeting used to improve the appearance of surgical and traumatic scars (including normal post-op scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloid scars) and burns. Creates an occlusive barrier, promoting skin moisture. This barrier supports the mechanism of action, which includes hydration and occlusion. Made of 100% healthcare-grade silicone, which is flexible, durable and with good adhesive quality.
