Mepitac 298300 Soft Silicone Tape 2 cm x 3 0 8 in x 3 3 yd

A must have after any surgery! I used this after breast surgery, and it worked amazingly! I followed my doctors instructions of weekly use w/ one day off the skin and I don’t have raised scarring at all! It’s easy, perfect level of stickiness to adhere to your skin, and didn’t cause any irritation! Again, an absolute must after any surgery, which could produce a scar onto the skin! Read more

Have purchased this item three times now. Using on a severe face wound and is helping heal more than I could have imagined. Have told many people how well this product has worked. Sticks on well, doesn’t bother the skin at all, and can barely feel it. Good price and quality item. Read more

This stuff works great! After reading the reviews for scar away and seeing this product in the recommendation bar, I decided to take a chance on this tape. After a breast augmentation and tummy tuck my surgeon gave me scar away sheets. I decided to put the scar away on my tummy scars and the mepitac on my breast scars. The mepitac tape is much thinner but sill has a layer of silicone. The mepitac tape also sticks better and is easier to cut to size since it comes on a roll. One box of scar away barely covered my tummy scars but I still have a significant amount of mepitac left on the roll at half the price. The mepitac stayed on and didn't fail through scar and implant massage for 2 days while the scar away rolled up and kept coming off or sticking to my clothing. I read all of the instructions and ended up using medical tape to stick the scar away in place. Today before my shower I took off both tapes and lined them up on the counter as many reviewers had recommended. I even used water to rinse off any gross stuff from the silicone sticky surface and left it to dry while I showered. After the shower the tape stuck right back on no problem. I used a cotton ball to smooth it down and remove any excess moisture left over from rinsing it. The scar away tape had to be taped down at the seams with medical tape because I didn't have the same faith it would stay put after two days of pushing it down. The biggest difference was in my scars! The scars under the scar away tape looked unchanged after two days while the scars under the mepitac tape were visibly flattened! I used no oil or scar treatment cream other then a very thin layer of polysporin. I'm 14 days post op so my scars are very new! This was all I needed to know to buy two more rolls of mepitac and know it will be great for the rest of my recovery. I can't wait to show my surgeon the difference in both scars at my appointment in a few days. Highly recommend this product! Read more

This is the best option for using silicone to help wound healing! I am highly prone to skin cancers and have had many removed. My dermatologist recommended that I purchase a silicone gel (that he has for sale in his office) but the gel was very expensive. I told the doctor that I can't afford the gel. So I came home and went online to see if I could find the silicone gel at a lower price. Alas, I could not. It's all unaffordable for me. I was reading a review for one of the expensive gels and, very fortunately, one reviewer wrote: "I like the tape better than any of the gels." I thought to myself, "What tape?" So I searched for silicone tape and found THIS product at 1/4 the cost of my dermatologist pricey gel! I was a little miffed that my dermatologist did NOT tell me about the silicone tape when I informed him that I can not afford the gel. He should have told me about the tape! If he really cared about the 6 sutures on my nose healing really well, and not chiefly concerned with making money off his expensive gel, he would have told me about the silicone tape. Using this tape, the 6 sutures on the side of my nose healed completely! There is NO TRACE of any surgery there! It's rather miraculous, to me, how terrifically this tape helps wounds to heal completely! One more thing. The silicone gel does not offer the same level of sun protection as this tape does. The tape blocks the sun 100%, making for better would healing on areas exposed to the sun such as the face. And even at $16.00, the profit on this product is very high. It doesn't cost much to make silicone tape! You'll pay through the nose for silicone gel and if vanity is that important to you, go for the silicone gel. But for optimal would healing at a lower cost, go with this tape. Excellent product! Excellent seller! Read more
