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

I was provided this tape after my surgery and loved it. It’s so smooth, soft and flat with great adhesion. I compared this to a more well known silicone tape that cost considerably more and thought this tape was superior.

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.

Been using this for just a week for two face scars from recent Mohs surgery and already seeing a difference. I gently press on it throughout the day to help flatten the scars once the silicone has softened them. Color is similar to skin tone so it doesn’t stand out, nice & thin, stays in place 100% between showers, covers scars so it protects against sun exposure. This is NOT the product my skin doc recommended, but it got rave reviews on a Facebook surgery site that I follow. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I have an eight inch scar from a knee joint replacement. A friend gave me a short strip of Mepitac 298300 Soft Silicone Tape. It was recommended to her by a cosmetic surgeon for a back scar she’d had. I used this on the top part of the scar and used some new ScarAway for the rest of the scar. After 10 days I remove both and the Mepitac had cleared and diminished the width of the scar much faster than the ScarAway! Please note that the Mepitac is a clear half inch wide tape that allowed air into the scar as part of the healing process. It can be a pain to use at first because it can rollup on itself if you’re not careful. And, it may take an hour before it sticks to scars located around a joint due to skin movement. Since the scar is on my knee joint I warped it with a stretch bandaid. The ScarAway is a half inch wide light pink tape that hides the scar while doing its job. It’s quick and easy! Both are making the scar less noticeable. Mepitac just works faster! I will always have the scar but at lest it will look a lot smaller!

A must have after any surgery! I used this after breast surgery, and it worked amazingly! I followed my doctors instructions of weekly use w/ one day off the skin and I don’t have raised scarring at all! It’s easy, perfect level of stickiness to adhere to your skin, and didn’t cause any irritation! Again, an absolute must after any surgery, which could produce a scar onto the skin!

I am surprised by the low ratings people gave this tape, but not shocked at their comments. People you will not see the results you think you will in 2-4 wks! scar pads take longer then that on new scars and twice as long on old ones but this tape does work. I gave it a 4* because it is way better than the Scar-Away type pads Now those pads are thicker and have a nice clothlike backing but this tape...well, I have a scar that goes across my chest from the farthest part of my armpit across to the other. over 2ft long. I was using an entire pack of Scar-away pads and they were bunching and falling off. Don't get me started on them not sticking because of a single drop of sweat or oil on my skin. This tape is way better to apply to a long scar and it sticks better. I have kept it on and showered!!! Not possible with the other ones. I will say getting it wet wasn't the best Idea. The next time I took it off a little bit of skin came from a spot I believe a drop of water got under. I now make sure it is 100% dry at all times. washing the tape and hanging it to dry is easier than individual pads as well. My doctor saw me for a 2 month checkup and was shocked. Like the other Black person mentioned, yes there is a little bit of darkening along the edges of the scar (which is still reddish pink for me). I am medium toned and barely noticed it until her comment made me pay attention. Even with the darkening, my doctor says the scar looks lie it's 2 years old not two months. I have been sleeping in these things and wearing them all day. So the proof is in the Doctor's words. I took one star away because they are very thin and if they fold over it's difficult to get them flat again.

Durable, good stick and easy to use scar tape. More structure than a pure silicone and seems to adhere really well (no rolling or lifting). Beige color works for generic Caucasian tone). Have had no skin irritation, even after multiple times using. Cardboard box is a bit flimsy but easy to carry (just have to avoid crunching or smooshing the roll - don't want ceases ... but that is true with ALL tapes. Not the cheapest but with the durability and that is stays on, good value for the price.

I used this tape on my TKR scar and I believe it did help with the reduction of raised tissue. My surgeon recommended oils but I went this route without regret. I did put the tape on and left it until I could see her it was being compromised by showers.. not once did I have any tape irrigation.

Je ne sais pas si c’est efficace Ne tien pas assez en place pour moi

Bought this because I read it can be used on scars. Have keloid scarring after double mastectomy. Came badly packaged and gave me a rash within a few hours. Won’t use it again.

Ok
