The TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) is Australia's government regulatory authority for therapeutic goods. ARTG 528546 is a formal government registration confirming the strips have been assessed for the management of hypertrophic and keloid scars. This is categorically different from general marketing claims. You can verify the registration at tga.gov.au.
