-
Synthetic dressings made of silicone. These dressings may consist of a plain silicone gel film or a knitted mesh (e.g., polymeric, frequently made of polyamide) that is bonded to a layer of soft silicone gel. Silicone dressings are self-adhesive to dry skin but not adhesive to wet wounds. Silicone-impregnated dressings are intended mainly to reduce hypertrophic and/or keloid scars.
