IFU Gel
NEWGEL+E ADVANCED SILICONE GEL OINTMENT
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE
APPLICATION
- Begin using NewGel+E when wound has healed or sutures have been removed. Do not use on any open wound.
- Wash and dry the area being treated before every application of NewGel+E.
- Apply a very small amount of NewGel+E to the area being treated, creating a thin layer covering the scar. Gently massage.
- Once dry (typically 1 to 2 minutes), NewGel+E can be covered by clothing, cosmetics, sunblock and bandages.
- Apply NewGel+E two to three times daily. Reapplication is recommended after bathing, swimming or exercising.
- Do not apply NewGel+E topical silicone gel under NewGel+ sheeting or the sheeting will lose its stickiness.
WEARING TIME
- NewGel+E should be worn 12 to 24 hours per day– the more time NewGel+ is in contact with the scar, the greater the effect.
- NewGel+E should be used for a minimum of two months and additional improvement may occur with use up to six months.
- If you have highly sensitive skin, apply NewGel+E to a small area for 1 to 2 days. If no rash/irritation occurs, apply to entire scar area.
- Store NewGel+E in a cool, dry place when not in use.
FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS
- For optimal results, use NewGel+ silicone sheeting whenever possible and NewGel+E silicone gel whenever the sheeting is not being used to provide 24 hour-a-day coverage. DO NOT USE BOTH PRODUCTS AT THE SAME TIME.
- Never use NewGel+E topical silicone gel or any other creams, lotions, ointments or perfumes under NewGel+ sheets or the sheets will lose their adhesiveness.
