Product Description
- StrataXRT is a novel, flexible wound dressing for the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis
- The film-forming gel dries as a thin, flexible and protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof
- A proprietary, film forming silicone gel specifically designed to manage radiation dermatitis including dry and moist desquamation
- Dries to form a thin, flexible, protective layer that minimizes Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) of the skin
- The film lightly bonds to the most superficial damaged skin layer and protects compromised skin areas and superficial wounds
- Contains no alcohols, parabens or fragrances and is transparent and odorless
- Can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing
- Suitable for children and people with sensitive skin
- Intended for single patient use
- Non-absorbable wound dressing
- Non-reactive with no measurable pH
- Sterile until opened and bacteriostatic for continuous applications
Key Benefits
- Relieves low grade inflammatory changes such as dry, itching, flaking, peeling and irritated skin
- For more severe inflammatory changes, reduces pain, redness and heat and helps soothe exposed skin areas
- Promotes a moist wound healing environment for rapid healing and faster skin recovery post radiation therapy
- Reduces the acute skin inflammatory response
- Developed for use on radiation dermatitis, toxic and compromised skin, superficial wounds, and first and second degree burns
- May be applied to superficial wounds, burns and areas where skin integrity has been compromised
- May be used in conjunction with other adjunctive treatments to improve overall results
- Suitable for all skin types and people of any age or gender
- Convenient and easy to use at home
- Can be used in combination with other dressings
- Requires substantially less product per application than typical moisturizing creams or barrier ointments
- 10g tube contains enough gel to treat an area of 12 × 15 cm twice per day for over 15 days
How to Use
- Ensure that the affected skin or superficial wound is clean and gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to gel application
- Apply a very thin layer of StrataXRT directly onto the affected area
- When applied correctly, StrataXRT should be dry in 5–6 minutes
- If it takes longer to dry, gently remove any excess gel with a clean tissue, gauze or paper towel and allow the drying process to continue - a small amount of gel goes a long way
- Once dry, StrataXRT can be covered with clothes, sunscreen or cosmetics
- Recommended as prophylaxis following the initial radiation dose and should continue for a minimum of 60–90 days (24 hours a day/7 days a week) post radiation therapy, or until no further improvement is seen
- Excess gel on hands can be easily removed by washing with liquid soap and warm water
- May stain clothing if not completely dry - dry cleaning should be able to remove stains without damaging fabric
- Make sure clothing covers the treated area when outside
- Wear loose clothing made of soft materials
- Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen for maximum protection
- Use non-perfumed, mild soap and toiletries
- Shower or bath with warm water, not hot water
- Gently pat skin dry after showering or bathing
- Avoid swimming in chlorinated water as it can have a drying effect on the skin
