Description

StrataXRT is an innovative wound dressing designed by Stratpharma AG to address the challenges of radiation dermatitis, a common issue faced during radiation therapy. This flexible, film-forming silicone gel is crafted to provide relief and protection for compromised skin, including superficial wounds and first and second-degree burns.

Key Benefits

• Protective Layer: StrataXRT forms a thin, transparent, and waterproof barrier that adheres seamlessly to the skin. This protective layer is gas-permeable, ensuring comfort while safeguarding the skin.

• Moist Healing Environment: By maintaining a moist environment, it promotes faster healing and re-epithelialization, crucial for effective recovery.

• Bacteriostatic Properties: The dressing minimizes microbial invasion without encouraging bacterial growth, reducing symptoms such as pain, redness, and itching.

Unique Features

• Non-Interfering with Radiation: Importantly, it does not affect radiation treatment, as it neither causes a bolus effect nor scatters radiation beams.

• Safe Composition: The gel is non-reactive and free from alcohol, parabens, fragrances, and metals, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

• Ease of Use: StrataXRT is easy to apply, requiring no rubbing, and can be conveniently used at home. Once dried, it can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, or clothing.

Application Instructions

• Simple Application: Apply a very thin layer to clean, dry skin once or twice daily. Allow it to dry for 5–6 minutes before covering.

• Long-Term Use: It is recommended to use from the first day of radiation therapy and continue for 60–90 days post-therapy.

• Storage: Store at room temperature or refrigerate for additional relief from burning sensations.

Availability

StrataXRT is available in 10g, 20g, and 50g tubes, providing versatile coverage options. For instance, a 20g tube can treat a 12×15 cm area twice daily for over 30 days.

Safety Precautions

• Intended for External Use: Avoid contact with eyes and do not use on highly exudative wounds or third-degree burns.

• Consultation Advised: If using other topical medications, consult a physician. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Storage Instructions: Keep out of reach of children and store away from direct sunlight.
