Stratamed Advanced Film-Forming Wound Dressing 10g

Stratamed is an advanced wound dressing with proven benefits. Unlike other wound dressings, the self-drying formulation of Stratamed forms a protective, flexible film over a wound. Stratamed helps create an optimal healing environment that leads to faster wound healing resulting in reduced downtime and risk of abnormal scar formation. Stratamed protects the compromised skin from microbial and chemical invasion, is an alternative to topical antibiotics and protects wounds from infections. Stratamed is flexible and adapts to all kinds of wound surfaces. This results in a more comfortable dressing that stays in contact with the skin and can simply be re-applied rather than needing to be removed like a traditional dressing. Stratamed was developed for the use on all types of superficial wounds, burns, skin tears and abrasions including those resulting from surgery, trauma, burns, bites, grazes, tattoo removal, chemical peels, dermal abrasion, cryotherapy, acne and other diseases of the skin. For faster wound healing and early abnormal scar prevention

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Stratamed can be applied to fresh incisions and excisions, open wounds and compromised skin surfaces including those from post laser treatments, chemical peels, dermal abrasion, 1st and 2nd degree burns and radiation therapy. Stratamed gel is bacteriostatic and inert.

Polysiloxanes, siloxane resin

Ensure that the affected skin or wound is clean. Gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to gel application. For best results Stratamed should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day / 7 days a week).
On damaged or broken skin not requiring a secondary dressing: Apply a very thin layer of Stratamed to the affected area and allow the gel to dry. When applied correctly to the affected areas, Stratamed should be dry in 5-6 minutes. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a clean tissue or gauze and allow the drying process to continue.
Stratamed should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician. Once dry, Stratamed may be covered by sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts. If Stratamed has been removed by washing, it should be reapplied.
On damaged skin or wounds requiring a secondary dressing: Apply a thin layer of Stratamed then cover with the secondary dressing. Drying is not necessary. Stratamed should be reapplied when changing the dressing or checking the wound progress, or as advised by your physician.
Recommended duration of treatment
Stratamed is recommended for immediate treatment post procedure and should be continued until the skin has fully recovered. For resurfacing and ablative procedures, continued use is recommended for a minimum treatment of 30 days (24 hours a day / 7 days a week) or until no further improvement is seen. Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen.
How much Stratamed do I need?
Stratamed gel is an advanced formulation that requires substantially less product per application than typical creams or gels.
• Stratamed 10g (0.35 oz) is enough to treat a 5-8 cm (2-3 inch) linear incision twice per day for over 90 days.
