Fingertub Cicatrex – compression for scars

Cicatrex finger tube is a thin, highly elastic compression tube for fingers, used for compression therapy of scars following, for example, surgery, burns, or deeper skin injuries. The soft, silky material envelops the finger and provides evenly distributed pressure over the covered skin area. The tube is sold individually and can be cut to the required length.

Function and use

The product is intended for compression therapy of healed scars on fingers. Pressure against the skin can be part of the treatment as scar tissue develops after an injury or operation. Treatment should only begin once the skin has healed sufficiently, and use should follow the recommendations of healthcare professionals.

Material and construction

The highly elastic, thin-knit material is supple and has a silky surface. The tubular construction wraps around the finger without adding unnecessary bulk. Its elasticity helps the material adapt to the shape of the finger and lie evenly against the skin.

Compression for scar treatment

Cicatrex finger tube is used to provide enveloping pressure over scar tissue. Compression can be part of treatment aimed at influencing how the scar develops during healing. The appropriate duration of use and level of compression should be assessed based on treatment needs.

Can be cut to desired length

The special knit allows the tube to be cut to the desired length without the edge fraying. Use clean, sharp scissors and ensure that the cut edge is even. The length can thus be adapted to the area of the finger that needs to be covered.

Fit and size selection

Cicatrex finger tube is available with different index measurements according to the size guide. Measure carefully before choosing a version. A tube that is too tight can cause discomfort, while a tube that is too loose may not provide the intended compression. The size ranges are presented separately for each version.

Application and comfort

Carefully slide the tube over the finger so that the relevant scar area is covered. Smooth out the material so that it lies evenly against the skin without wrinkles or edges that could chafe. The tube should not cause pain, numbness, or discomfort during use.

Safe use

Do not use the product on open wounds. Discontinue use and contact healthcare personnel in the event of discoloration, increased pain, numbness, swelling, or skin irritation. Follow the individual advice provided for compression therapy of scars.
