Scar-management dressings (reusable) are elastic sheets designed to cover and treat hypertrophic or keloid scars by occluding the skin. They help hydrate scar tissue, reduce redness, and flatten raised scars caused by surgery, burns, or injuries, often using silicone gel or similar materials for consistent pressure and moisture retention.
These devices are typically reusable and may be self-adhesive or secured with tape, requiring cleaning between uses. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, with compliance requirements tied to safety, performance, and material standards for reusable medical devices.
