TENDER TOUCH™ Silicone Gel Pads are designed to be worn on the body to help reduce pressure and friction against bony prominences, and they can also be used as scar management. This is not a wound covering or dressing and is not sterile.
TENDER TOUCH™ Silicone Gel Pads are soft silicone gel sheets that are applied over bony prominences. The sheets are not made of medical grade silicone and are not sterile. The sheets are square and rectangular and come in three sizes, 9cm x 9 cm, 6 cm x 6 cm and 3.5 cm x 6 cm. They are approximately .125 of an inch thick. The customers will determine which size sheet is best for their own application. The pad helps reduce friction and pressure against the skin. They can also be used as scar management. The sheets are not for use on an open wound, are not sterile but can be washed. They can be used under casting and splints and can be cut to other shapes if necessary.
