StrataXRT Gel 50g
Advanced Silicone Gel for the Prevention and Treatment of Radiation Dermatitis
StrataXRT Gel 50g is an innovative, film-forming wound dressing specifically developed to prevent and treat radiation dermatitis. Designed for individuals undergoing radiation therapy, this gel provides symptomatic relief from the acute inflammatory response, itching, and discomfort associated with radiation-induced skin reactions.
The unique formulation of StrataXRT Gel dries to form a thin, flexible, and protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof. This barrier not only shields the compromised skin from microbial invasion but also supports the skin's natural healing process without promoting bacterial growth.
Suitable for use from day one of radiation therapy, StrataXRT Gel can be applied directly to the affected area, including dry and moist desquamation. Its transparent and odorless nature ensures discreet application, making it ideal for use on visible areas such as the face, neck, and chest.
