What is the difference between KELO-COTE silicone gel and silicone sheets?
KELO-COTE is an advanced formula silicone gel which is easily applied directly to the scar, and self-dries quickly. It can be used on joints and doesn’t restrict movement. KELO-COTE’s formula ensures that it adheres to the scar, unlike sheets which often require sticking in place. Silicone sheets may be less convenient to apply, particularly on joints and can restrict movement. Also KELO-COTE is transparent (not KELO-COTE UV) and will be less visible than sheets on exposed areas. Finally, unlike silicone gel sheets which are removed, washed and reapplied, a new layer of KELO-COTE is easily applied at each use. The choice between silicone gel and sheeting is based on many factors such as the size and location of the scar and individual preference, your healthcare professional will be able to help you decide which is most appropriate for your scar.
