ABSTRACT:
A scar dressing of thin polymeric film having a thickness no greater than about 10 mils (0.254 mm) is disclosed. The film is preferably coated on one side with a hypoallergenic pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the dressing as a whole has a permeability profile for moisture vapor and oxygen that renders the dressing particularly suitable for treating scar tissue, particularly where the scarring has become, or may become, hypertropic or keloidal.
