Description: StrataXRT is a novel, flexible wound dressing, developed by Stratpharma Switzerland for the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis, I personally highly recommend this product given the first hand experience one of my relatives had with it, cannot be thankful enough I have to say! Radiation dermatitis is an acute skin reaction affecting a large majority of patients undergoing radiation therapy. These reactions can go from redness on the skin (erythema) to moist desquamation, and may be a source of significant pain, discomfort and even psychological stress. Why is StrataXRT an innovation? To treat radiation dermatitis, the most commonly used treatments are different moisturizers. Contrary to StrataXRT, moisturizers have not been developed specifically to manage the side effects of radiation therapy. With its special formula, StrataXRT spreads easily while using a very little amount of product. What are StrataXRT properties? Once dried, StrataXRT forms a thin, flexible, protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof. This helps promote a moist wound healing environment by minimizing Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). The StrataXRT film lightly bonds to the most superficial damaged skin layer and protects compromised skin areas as well as superficial wounds. StrataXRT gel has the following properties: •It is bacteriostatic and inert•Easy application at home, no need for secondary dressing•Suitable for large radiation affected areas, but also in joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving•Does not need to be removed during radiotherapy since it does not a bolus effect•Make-up and sun protection can be applied over it•Transparent and odorless Since StrataXRT does not contain alcohol, fragrances or parabens, it is also suitable for children and people with sensitive skin. Applying StrataXRT StrataXRT is recommended to be used starting from the first dose of radiation therapy in order to enhance results. First ensure that the affected skin or superficial wound upon which you will apply StrataXRT is clean and dry. Should there be excessive exudate (fluid), pat it dry. Apply a very thin layer of StrataXRT directly on the affected area and allow it to dry. The gel should dry within 5 to 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. Once dry, StrataXRT may be covered with cosmetics and clothing. StrataXRT should be applied once or twice daily upon the affected areas or as advised by your physician. To achieve best results, StrataXRT should remain in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week). StrataXRT should be applied for a minimum of 60–90 days post radiation therapy, or until no further improvement is seen. For chronic radiation dermatitis, continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen. Tips for StrataXRT usage•StrataXRT may be used in conjunction with other treatments to improve overall results. •StrataXRT can also be used with or without a secondary protective dressing. •StrataXRT may be kept in the refrigerator to relieve the heat sensation during application.•Should StrataXRT stain your clothes, “normal” washing will not remove the product. Dry cleaning is advised for best results. How much StrataXRT is required? StrataXRT gel is a unique formulation that requires substantially less product per application than typical moisturizing creams or barrier ointments. StrataXRT 50 g (1.75 oz) is enough to treat an area of 12 × 15 cm, (5 × 6 inch) twice per day for over 75 days.
