A Askina Scar Repair adhesive silicone pads that are designed to prevent and heal hypertrophic scars. They are the most affective therapeutic measure for healing scars. They are Notified by NOP (National Organization of Pharamaceuticals) and the European Medicines Agency, with published clinical studies as well as international ISO certifications.
All of us have at least one hypertrophic scar, from some vaccine we had when we were children, without it being very obvious. But things get complicated every time we are injured in the deeper layers of the skin where even when the wound is closed a complex process of cell regeneration continues, which often leads to excessive collagen production, creating a hypertrophic scar.
Did you know that any injury, burn or surgical incision that affects the deeper layers of the skin will result in the formation of scar tissue?
Did you know that there is a 50% chance of creating a hypertrophic scar after a surgical procedure such as a caesarean section;
Did you know that keloids are hypertrophic scars that have gotten out of control?
Did you know that children and young adults are at greater risk of developing hypertrophic scars?
Although a hypertrophic scar does not go beyond the limits of the original wound, it is always possible to turn into a keloid, even after years, for many various reasons including
- heredity and
- sun exposure
During this phase of epidermal re-modelling of a closed wound, scar progression can be positively affected by simply using silicone sheets, such as the Askina Scar Repair range of silicone adhesive pads for scars and keloids, with the signature B Braun.
Thanks to Scar Repair it is now possible to maintain the optimal level of hydration in the area of the scar, positively affecting the healing process below the surface of the skin and also preventing the formation of hypertrophic scar tissue.

Askina Scar Repair is suitable to use from the very first day for:
- A healed postoperative scar (such as a caesarean section)
- A healed wound
- A burn in the epithelialization stage
preventing the creation of hypertrophic and keloid scars.
But even if they are created, it is the only truly effective non-invasive means of managing and curing them..
Strategic advantages of silicone sheets over silicone gels, are are the continuous treatment 24 hours a day as well as the protection of the wound from its greatest enemy, the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
Finally, it is worth noting that apart from the high effectiveness, it is is is also the most affordable non-invasive treatment.
