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

Recommended by my doctor and it is easy to apply, lasts and is comfortable, stays in place, and provides great results. My scars have healed beautifully and will be barely visible. Great value for the money.

This company makes amazing products for health care and wound care. It is flexible, stays on like a champ and works for scar treatment.

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!

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.

Does fulfill their advertised purpose. I notice better healing and almost no scaring.
