A new addition to the Lansinoh recovery range, the Lansinoh® C-section Hydrogel Pads help new mums protect their c-section incision site - minimizing friction from clothing while providing soothing, cooling relief for tender, itchy skin.
Designed to ease discomfort so mums can focus on recovery and their newborn, these water resistant c-section padded dressings also protect the wound from sweating caused by overhang creasing, or when showering.
Developed to be used from 10 days postpartum, after stitches have been removed and when the wound is closed but still healing.
For use from 10 days post-surgery, when the incision wound has been assessed by your midwife to make sure it is clean, closed, and dry to avoid any infections. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying the hydrogel pad. Open pouch and remove the gel pad then peel back the release paper on the side marked (1). Gently place the gel side of the pad directly over your closed incision site. Apply the pad by massaging the area using a smooth motion from the centre outwards before removing the release paper on the side marked (2). For an extra cooling effect, refrigerate unopened pads before use. To remove, hold the centre of the pad and gently pull the pad edge outward to release the adhesive. Continue to pull the edge, stretching outward (not upward) and in the same direction of any hair growth.
