The effect of silicone-gel on the immune response
Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 1996Silicone materials have been used in medical applications for at least 30 years. Despite this long history of use the question whether silicones can mediate an immunological reaction that may be detrimental to the host remains unanswered. Most studies on the biocompatability of silicones conclude that silicones are chemically stable compounds, which ...

Silicone gel including antimicrobial agent
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1990Silicone gel sheets containing Ofloxacin (OFLX), that provide a continual drug delivery system from a wound dressing to the wound so as to prevent infection and to promote healing, are described. It was found that silicone gel sheets without added medication did not inhibit microbial growth but that gel sheets containing 0.02% and 0.2% of OFLX had a ...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2014
Since the first generation of breast implants, major design innovations, including consistency of the gel, palpability and thickness of the shell, and barrier materials in the shell, have been introduced. Surgeons have not had metrics to assess and compare available implants.Research at independent laboratories included 4 tests: gel elasticity (the gel'

Dermatologic Surgery, 1999
The exact mechanisms of action responsible for the effectiveness of silicone gel dressings are unknown, although it has been proposed that static electricity generated by friction could be the reason for their anti-scarring effects.We compared the efficacy of a cushion of silicone filled with liquid silicone gel reported to induce greater negative ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1994
To the Editor. —Dr Kessler and colleagues label the recommendation for patient choice of breast implants by the CSA "insupportable" and call the practice of implanting silicone gel implants "an abrogation of responsibility on the part of physicians." 1 Kessler et al cite recent studies to support their concern for systemic adverse health effects of ...

Silicone gel in the treatment of keloid scars
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1989Silicone gel is effective in the treatment of keloid scars. Eighteen patients with 22 scars were treated with gel and their progress reviewed at 6 months. Improvements in texture, colour and height of the lesions were noted.

Silicone Gel Sheeting for the Management and Prevention of Onychocryptosis
Dermatologic Surgery, 2003Onychocryptosis, commonly referred to as ingrown nails, has many therapeutic alternatives for its management. Although mild cases can be treated conservatively, in severe cases, surgical treatment is preferred. Silicone gel sheeting is found to be effective in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids.To document the effectiveness of silicone gel

Silicone Gel Implant Explantation
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1995Managing the patient who requests removal of her silicone gel implants, either intact or ruptured, can be difficult because the treatment depends on the desires and perceptions of the individual patient, especially in the present absence of data concerning the possible long-term adverse consequences of a silicone gel implant, intact or ruptured.
