Savlon Scar Prevention Gel can be used for dry or wet wounds:
• In case of a dry wound Savlon Scar Prevention Gel Gel turns the dry wound into a moist one (“hydrogel” effect). The dry wound absorbs the water contained in Savlon Scar Prevention Gel helping reduce the likelihood of scarring.
• In case of a wet wound, the hydrocolloid of Savlon Scar Prevention Gel is activated and consequently Savlon Scar Prevention Gel absorbs excessive fluid from the wound and restores the water balance in the wound (“hydrocolloid” effect).
