Purpose
Compression textiles are basic elements in scar tissue therapy. The objective is to obtain flat and elastic scar
tissue which does not reduce the quality of life. With continuously planar pressure, Cicatrex compensates for the resilience and surface elasticity of the skin. Surface elasticity presents the natural limit for scarring to prevent the scar rising above the level of the skin.   Blood circulation in the scar will be reduced, collagen fibres are aligned in parallel. Cicatrex is hypoallergenic, prevents inflammations in the tissue, relieves itching and provides comprehensive protection for the fresh scar.
The combination of continuous surface pressure of the compression garment with silicone has a positive effect on scar maturation, and the scar area will be visually and functionally improved. For this combination, Compression therapy generally is a long-term treatment and requires the corresponding products which – if the medical indication is given – the patient him/herself applies upon the doctor‘s instruction.
