What does StrataXRT do?
StrataXRT is an innovative, film-forming wound dressing. The formula of StrataXRT was specifically developed to prevent and treat radiation dermatitis.
Who can use StrataXRT?
StrataXRT is a film-forming gel specifically designed to be used on dry and moist desquamation, common side effects of radiation therapy. It can be used by people of any age, gender or skin type. It is also suitable for children or people with sensitive skin.
How to use StrataXRT
StrataXRT is recommended to be used from the very first dose of radiation therapy. Apply once/twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by a healthcare professional. Use StrataXRT after every wash and keep in contact with the skin for 24 hours, 7 days a week. Use for 60-90 days or until no further improvement is seen.
Applying StrataXRT
Step 1: Prepare your skin
​
Ensure that the affected skin or superficial wound is clean. Gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to applying StrataXRT.
Step 2: Apply StataXRT
​
Apply a very thin layer of StrataXRT directly onto the affected area.
Step 3: Allow the gel to dry
​
When applied correctly, StrataXRT should be dry in 5–6 minutes.
Step 4: You are ready to go!
​
Once dry, StrataXRT can be covered with clothes or cosmetics.
Remove from skin
Excess StrataXRT on your hands can be easily removed by washing them with liquid soap and warm water. Repeat if necessary.
If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove any excess gel with a tissue or paper towel and allow the drying process to continue. Remember: a little amount of gel goes a long way.
Remove from clothes
StrataXRT may stain clothing if not completely dry. If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it without damaging the fabric.
