Tube 1.75oz (50g), gel
Film-forming gel: StrataCTX dries to form a thin and flexible wound dressing that ensures full constant contact with the skin. Faster wound healing: StrataCTX promotes a moist healing environment, leading to faster re-epithelialization.
Symptomatic relief: StrataCTX provides symptomatic relief of dry, itching, flaking, peeling and irritated skin, and reduces pain, redness and heat sensation.
Hydration: StrataCTX is semi-permeable, which allows the skin to breathe and remain hydrated.
Protection: StrataCTX is bacteriostatic. It protects the skin from irritants and microbial invasion while reducing the risk of contact dermatitis.
Non-reactive: StrataCTX is non-reactive. It has no measurable pH, and contains no steroids, alcohol, parabens or fragrances, making it suitable for children, and people with sensitive skin.
For different areas: StrataCTX is suitable for large surface areas and contoured skin like head, face, hand and foot, as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.
Secondary dressings: Once dry, StrataCTX does not inhibit secondary dressings or adhesives from sticking to the skin surface. Transparent: StrataCTX is transparent and is not absorbed through the skin. It is suitable for monitoring the skin condition without the need of having to remove a physical dressing or adhesive.
Lightly bonds: StrataCTX lightly bonds to the most superficial damaged skin layer.
Easy to use: StrataCTX is easy to apply by patients at home.
StrataCTX is intended to be used under the direction of health care practitioners in the management of cutaneous reactions. StrataCTX is indicated for use on all types of wounds, toxic and compromised skin including:
• Cutaneous reactions
• Pruritic, itchy skin
• Xerotic, dry skin
• Desquamation
• Fissures of skin and nail folds
• Blisters
• Medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI)
• Erythema
• Infusion reactions
• Rashes, including: maculopapular rash, hand-foot syndrome, GVHD, acneiform reaction, peri and appendageal (hair follicles, sweat glands)
Do not administer to patients with known hypersensitivity to the ingredients of this product.
For external use only. StrataCTX should not be placed in contact with the eyes. StrataCTX should not be applied over topical medications unless advised by your physician. StrataCTX may stain clothing if not completely dry. If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it without damaging the fabric. For correct storage please reclose the tube tightly with the cap. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use after the expiration (EXP) date printed on the tube. The expiration date does not change once the tube has been opened. Do not use if the tube is damaged.
At the time of producing this material, no adverse effects have been reported with the use of StrataCTX.
Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
Ensure that the affected superficial area is clean and dry. Apply a very thin layer of StrataCTX directly to the affected area and allow the gel to dry. When applied correctly, StrataCTX 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. Once dry, StrataCTX may be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics and clothing.
Additional directions: StrataCTX should be applied at least twice daily to affected areas, as needed or as required to maintain contact with the affected surface. StrataCTX may be re-applied more often to ensure constant contact with the skin, or to reduce symptoms. Washing will likely remove StrataCTX. Re-apply StrataCTX after each wash. Areas with higher hygienic necessities (groin, perineum, anal): StrataCTX should be applied after each urination and bowel movement, on dry and clean skin. For best results StrataCTX should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week). StrataCTX can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing. StrataCTX does not need to be rubbed in or massaged, as it does not penetrate below the level of stratum corneum and will not enhance its effect. StrataCTX can be applied directly to the skin, using the finger, Q-Tip etc.
Tips for using StrataCTX: StrataCTX may be stored in the refrigerator prior to application for faster relief of symptoms. If not completely dry, StrataCTX may stain clothing. Normal washing will not remove the product from the clothes. If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it without any damaging of the fabric.
StrataCTX and other products: Moisturizers, lotions, etc. are not required. StrataCTX can be re-applied more often to avoid dry and tight skin feeling, as StrataCTX prevents the water evaporation through the damaged skin that may cause this feeling. Alternatively, a moisturizer can be applied after StrataCTX dries to maintain the first contact of StrataCTX with the skin. StrataCTX reduces the need for corticosteroids or antibiotics. StrataCTX reduces skin’s acute inflammatory response without side effects of corticosteroids or antibiotics. StrataCTX is bacteriostatic and prevents microbial and bacterial invasion without the risk of contact dermatitis.
IMPORTANT Due to StrataCTX's semi-permeable nature:
• StrataCTX may enhance the effect of an active ingredient if StrataCTX is applied over the active ingredient.
• StrataCTX may prevent or reduce adsorption of active ingredients if that are applied over StrataCTX.
