  • Title: Use of a glycerin-based gel sheeting in scar management.
    Author: Baum TM, Busuito MJ.
    Journal: Adv Wound Care; 1998; 11(1):40-3. PubMed ID: 9729932.
    Abstract:
    Management of hypertrophic and keloid scars can be difficult. This article presents an initial report on use of a glycerin-based gel sheeting to manage or prevent these scars. The results were comparable to those achieved with silicone sheeting, a typical treatment. Clinically, the glycerin-based sheeting was well tolerated, appeared to be effective, and was less expensive than the silicone sheeting. A prospective study will be done to confirm these findings.
