Mepitac 298300 Soft Silicone Tape, 2 cm x 3 /0.8 in x 3.3 yd

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!

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!

Been using this for just a week for two face scars from recent Mohs surgery and already seeing a difference. I gently press on it throughout the day to help flatten the scars once the silicone has softened them. Color is similar to skin tone so it doesn’t stand out, nice & thin, stays in place 100% between showers, covers scars so it protects against sun exposure. This is NOT the product my skin doc recommended, but it got rave reviews on a Facebook surgery site that I follow. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I was recommended to use this brand tape by my surgeon. Works great! I've reused it for a couple of weeks now and have had no problems.

Sticks and doesn't come off! Comfortable. I forget I'm wearing it. Highly recommend.

Sticks good. Made good quality . Flexible. Not too thick. Value.

Check my purchase, it's verified. And I am here to say this stuff is amazing. AMAZING. I read all the reviews of verified purchasers beforehand and thought that while the tape seemed a bit pricey, I'd give it a go. My situation is that I had some surgery a little over 3 years ago and, for the first time in my life, developed hypertrophic scars. For the unaware, hypertrophic scars are caused by an overproduction of collagen (your body apparently gets a woody about healing), causing thick, rope-like, raised scars that stay purply-red. The scars take years to either flatten or fade. After three years, mine were as thick as the day after my surgery and purple colored. To make matters worse, these types of scars can be both painful and itchy. They are NOT keloid scars, so I don't know if this tape would yield similar results for keloid scar sufferers. I had used silicone strips (the washable kind) before, wearing them both day and night and found that little progress resulted. This tape looks like a wide strip in the picture, but it's actually not. It's about 1" wide, so I cut the tape down the middle to yield 1/2" strips, which cover my scars perfectly. I put them on and basically leave them on until they are starting to not stick anymore. Probably something on the order of 3 weeks. I shower with them and everything. It's very sticky tape, so it stays on really well. I've now gone through two rounds of 3-week applications and my scars are amazingly different. Night and day improvement. Not only are they not rope-like anymore, they have also started to fade. They have flattened to the point where I can actually see the incision scar - something I could never see before because they were so ropey. I'm going to keep going with these strips until I can't feel the scars raised up anymore. I would highly, highly recommend this tape for anyone who suffers from a hypertrophic scar and who doesn't want to go back under the knife for scar revision surgery. It takes patience, but of all the products I've tried, and I've tried a lot, this one is without a doubt way, way, way above the rest.

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!

Je ne sais pas si c’est efficace Ne tien pas assez en place pour moi

Bought this because I read it can be used on scars. Have keloid scarring after double mastectomy. Came badly packaged and gave me a rash within a few hours. Won’t use it again.

I've tried a couple of other brands of silicon tape as well as silicon gel but this is by far the most effective and convenient solution. I used it on my chest scar from open-heart surgery. Left it in place for as long as it stayed adhered before replacing it, and I even showered with it on. I had to ensure continuous coverage for months but the results were worth it. Some of the scar is now barely visible and the rest has greatly reduced in lumpiness and has faded considerably.

Used these on my scars after top surgery and they helped my scars fade a lot till now 2 years later they’re pretty much invisible (
