Smith & Nephew Cica-Care silicone scar gel sheet 5 x 6 — reusable, waterproof, flexible scar care

Smith & Nephew's Cica-Care is a reusable silicone gel adhesive sheet sized 5" x 6" designed to protect and support the appearance of healed wounds and scars by providing a flexible, semi-occlusive silicone layer.

This soft silicone sheet lies flat against the skin to create a controlled, hydrated environment over mature or healing scars. It combines a tacky adhesive backing with a comfortable, flexible surface that conforms to body contours, standing up to daily movement and water exposure. Because the sheet is washable and reusable, it’s a practical option for ongoing scar management without daily replacement.

How do I apply and remove the 5" x 6" Cica-Care sheet?

Clean and dry the scar area thoroughly before application. Peel the release backing, press the silicone side onto the skin to remove creases or air pockets, and smooth the edges for a secure fit; lift one corner gently to remove.

• Apply to healed or closed wounds only; avoid broken skin.
• Trim the sheet to fit irregular or small areas if needed.
• Press firmly for even adhesion; reapply after cleaning.

How long can I wear the adhesive silicone sheet each day?

Cica-Care’s semi-occlusive design allows for extended wear while maintaining skin hydration. Many users wear silicone sheets for several hours daily; the exact schedule depends on comfort and hygiene practices.

• Wear during daytime or overnight for continuous contact.
• Remove to clean the sheet and skin regularly per instructions.
• Replace only when adhesive performance declines despite cleaning.

How do I clean and reuse this silicone scar sheet safely?

The sheet is washable so you can gently cleanse the adhesive surface to restore tackiness between uses. Use mild soap and lukewarm water, air-dry the product on a clean surface, then reseal with the protective backing when not in use.

• Wash with a gentle, fragrance-free soap; avoid harsh chemicals.
• Air-dry completely—do not use heat sources to speed drying.
• Store flat with the release liner to preserve adhesion.

Is the Cica-Care sheet suitable for active or wet conditions?

Yes — the waterproof, durable construction is made for everyday life, including showers and light physical activity. The silicone maintains contact during routine movement and exposure to water, though adhesive strength may vary with repeated wetting and washing.

• Waterproof design permits showering without removal in many cases.
• Durable for walking, light exercise, and typical daily tasks.
• Inspect adhesive after heavy sweating or vigorous activity and clean as needed.

Who is this for: Smith & Nephew Cica-Care 5" x 6" is intended for adults and caregivers seeking a reusable silicone solution to support scar management on medium-sized areas.
