How does the Digital Cap work?
The Silopad digital cap is a soft, stretchable cap which is coated with gel.
This improves your scar by:
- Softening and moisturising the scar.
- Reducing the hardness and height of the scar.
When should the Silopad Digital Cap be used?
- The cap should only be applied to skin that is completely healed, for example no open wounds.
- Clean the area to be treated with mild soap and water and pat dry.
- Slip the cap over the finger or toe so that the gel is in contact with the scar.
- Remove the cap for at least 3-4 hours daily to allow skin to breathe.
How should I care for the Silopad Digital Cap?
- Hand wash the cap with luke warm water 2-3 times a week. Air dry and lightly dust with talcum powder after drying.
