New Merz Contractubex Overnight Intensive Patch

21 Patches

The Overnight Intensive Patches offer an effective treatment for fresh scars after wound closure and protect the sensitive scar area as well as they help to alleviate the itching, burning and feeling of tension which often accompany the scarring process.

The dual mode of action regulates the scar formation process thus preventing excessive scarring and making the scar tissue softer, smoother and more elastic. The patch can also be applied to flatten, fade and smooth existing scars, including hypertropic scars and keloids.

The application of the patches for at least 3 months prevents the formation of raised and discoloured scars. The hypoallergenic patch is soft, thin and flexible, and suitable for all parts of the body. To achieve the best possible results – a barely visible, inconspicuous scar – application should be started as soon as the wound is closed or the stitches are removed.

The two-layer composition of the Contractubex Overnight Intensive Patch offers a dual mode of action that results in regulating the scarring process by preventing the formation of excessive scars, while improving the smoothness, colour and softness of the newly formed tissue.

Occlusion effect: The soft Micro-Air-Cushion Seal is specially designed to reduce the trans-epidermal water loss of the scar tissue to ensure that a balanced, moisture-retaining atmosphere inside the affected skin area is maintained. In addition, the soft foam material protects the sensitive scar tissue.

Release of ingredients: In the Active-Release-Matrix in the adhesive layer, the well-known Contractubex substances Cepalin and Allantoin are embedded. As soon as the patch is applied to the skin, these substances are gradually released over several hours.
