Awards and Recognition

The Smart Scar Care Pad, developed by Prof. Cecilia Li of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, is an award‑winning innovation crafted to enhance the treatment of hypertrophic scars. This silicone-based technology integrates both pressure and optimal hyration balance, delivering more effective scar management than traditional methods.

Since its launch, the Smart Scar Care Pad has garnered significant international acclaim. In March 2017, it was awarded the Grand Award and the Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury at the 45th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva - recognition of its groundbreaking approach to scar therapy. The invention also received honors from Romania’s National Council of Rectors and was selected by the International Society for Burn Injury (ISBI) for its burn survivor innovation competition, further affirming its clinical efficacy, comfort, and user-friendly design.

These accolades solidify the Smart Scar Care Pad’s position as a trusted, evidence-based solution for individuals seeking advanced, reliable scar management.
