07:00 – 08:00 Optimising scar prevention and treatment with KELO-COTE®

Burn patients face significant pain and impairment, compounded by the psychological burden of hypertrophic scars. These scars pose substantial aesthetic and functional challenges. Silicone therapy, recognised for its efficacy and safety, remains a cornerstone in non-invasive scar management. This webinar explores alternative strategies in silicone therapy, focusing on the contactless silicone spray KELO-COTE®. Engineered for hygienic, painless, and extensive scar coverage, KELO-COTE® Spray offers a better solution for burn scars. Additionally, its compatibility with pressure garments enhances its use as a comprehensive therapy.
