Active Ingredients

• Silicon Dioxide
• Butane
• Pentane

Indications

Kelo-cote spray is intended for the management of old and new scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars, resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma, wounds and burns.

Kelo-cote spray is a lightweight, self-drying silicone gel spray for the treatment of scars. Kelo-cote spray rapidly dries to form a sheet; this silicone gel sheet layer is gas permeable, flexible and waterproof. Kelo-cote spray binds to the stratum corneum (the outer layer of dead skin cells) forming a protective barrier against chemical, physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration. This creates an environment which allows the scar to mature through reduced collagen synthesis cycles, and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar.

Silicone gels have been shown to be effective in treating abnormal scarring in the form of hypertrophic scars and keloids.

Kelo-cote spray can be used on joints, flexures, hairy areas and large area scars such as those caused from burns or major trauma.

Instructions

Do not swallow! For external use only.

Shake the can well before use. Ensure that the affected area is clean and dry. Remove cap from the can. Hold the can 15-20 cm from surface to be treated. Spray along the length of the scar in a light sweeping motion. Kelo-cote spray should be applied in a very thin, even coating with no holes or gaps on the affected area. Kelo-cote spray should dry in 2-3 minutes. If the Kelo-cote spray is pooling, dripping or running you have sprayed too much. Gently remove the excess

and allow the drying process to continue.

Kelo-cote spray should be applied twice daily for 90 days for maximum effect.

Recommended minimum treatment time is 60-90 days. It may take longer than 90 days for older and larger scars to achieve full benefit. Extended use is recommended if continued improvement is seen.

Can be applied under pressure garments and sunscreen. Allow to air dry before covering with sunscreen or pressure garments.
