Dermatix Silicone Sheet Fabric
Dermatix is suitable for scars resulting from surgery, accidents, burns, and other injuries.
You do not have to wait for time to improve your scars. Dermatix – available in a range of silicone based products is clinically proven to significantly improve the appearance of scars. Suitable for existing prominent immature and new scars, Dermatix even reduces scarring following surgery, burns and other injuries.

Dermatix Silicone Sheets
Made from silicone and PTFE, the thin Dermatix Silicone Sheet Clear provides a unique combination of transparency, flexibility and adhesiveness. The silicone reduces hypertrophic scars and keloids, while the transparency offers minimal visibility of the sheet. Dermatix Silicone Sheet Clear does not require adhesive aids such as tape or netting, making Dermatix Silicone Sheets ideal for wearing on exposed body parts (e.g. face and hands). Dermatix Silicone Sheet Clear can be washed with mild soap and water, making Dermatix Silicone Sheets easy to reuse.
Dermatix Silicone Sheet Fabric is thin, self-adhesive and fabric backed. It is lined on one side with silicone, which sticks to the skin reducing and preventing scars. The other side is lined with silky-smooth fabric, which makes Dermatix Silicone Sheet comfortable and convenient to use under clothing.
