What are the advantages of using Stratamed gel instead of physical wound dressings? There are delicate areas where it is very difficult or impossible to use physical dressings: Areas with high mobility, areas with high friction, wet skin (mucosa), hindering adherence. Areas with higher hygienic requirements (like perineum). Physical dressings (including silicone dressings) do not create a full contact surface as air bubbles form underneath. Delicate areas like the eyes, nostrils and lip contours remain exposed and subjected to irritation due to the adhesive tape. Stratamed is an advanced film forming wound dressing in the form of a self-drying silicone gel. Stratamed is flexible, adaptable, and creates a full contact surface. Stratamed is completely biocompatible, inert and is suitable for people with sensitive skin. Stratamed is odorless. NOT indicated for the use on active acne. The usage of Stratamed does not require changes in any existing wound care protocol. It is a simple addition to your usual process - but with great effects. First ensure that the affected skin or wound is clean. Gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the wound as possible prior to the application of Stratamed. For best results Stratamed should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week). When applied correctly to exposed 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.
