Tube 0.7oz (20g), gel
Film-forming, flexible, full contact: StrataGRT gel dries to form a thin and flexible wound dressing that ensures full constant contact with the skin.
Faster wound healing: StrataGRT promotes a moist healing environment leading to faster re-epithelialization.
Protection: StrataGRT is bacteriostatic. It protects the wound from chemical and microbial invasion while reducing the risk for contact dermatitis.
Hydration and gas permeability: StrataGRT is semi-permeable, which allows the skin to breathe and remain hydrated.
Secondary dressings: StrataGRT can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing, in combination with other wound care therapies and topical agents.
Hard to treat areas: StrataGRT is suitable for exposed areas like the face and neck as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.
Non-reactive: StrataGRT is non-reactive, it has no measurable pH, and contains no steroids, alcohols, parabens or fragrances making it suitable for infants, children, people with sensitive skin, during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Easy to use: StrataGRT is easy to apply without the need for removal before re-application and can be used by patients at home.
An ideal wound care product should be flexible, gas-permeable, transparent and easy to apply on all wound surfaces. It should also support the moist wound healing environment, prevent infection and reduce side effects. There are many options currently available for the treatment of chronic wounds following significant advances in technologies from recent years. There still remain, however, many challenges in successfully treating these wounds, such as antibiotic resistance, infection relapse and the use of nonoptimal wound dressings. Many physical wound dressings are only suitable for wounds on flat surfaces. As a result, these physical wound dressings do not enable full surface contact with a lot of wounds (ie, wounds near joints, wounds on highly contoured areas, deep or tunneling wounds). The adhesive parts of these dressings have also shown to cause allergic reactions leading to delays or complications in the wound healing outcome. Additionally, physical dressings can also limit mobility, thereby restricting patients’ movements and affecting their daily activities and quality of life. The properties of these dressings may not be ideal for patients to apply at home and need additional nursing care for its application and maintenance.
StrataGRT is indicated for use on all types of chronic and acute wounds including:
- chronic wounds (venous (stasis) ulcers, neuropathic (diabetic) ulcers, arterial (ischemic) ulcers, pressure (decubitus) ulcers)
- acute wounds: post traumatic wounds, burns, skin tears, surgery, wound dehiscence. StrataGRT may be directly applied to fresh incisions and excisions, open wounds and compromised skin surfaces.
Do not administer to patients with known hypersensitivity to the ingredients of this product.
For external use only. StrataGRT should not be placed in contact with the eyes. StrataGRT should not be applied over other skin treatments without the advice of your physician. StrataGRT 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 (EXP) 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 StrataGRT.
Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
Ensure that the affected superficial area is cleaned before each application. Gently pat dry as much exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to gel application. - On wounds not requiring a secondary dressing: Apply a thin layer of StrataGRT to the affected area and allow the gel to dry. When applied correctly to exposed areas, StrataGRT 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. StrataGRT should be applied twice daily to exposed areas or as required to maintain contact with the affected surface. If StrataGRT has been removed by washing, it should be re-applied.
- On wounds requiring a secondary dressing: Apply a thin layer of StrataGRT then cover with the secondary dressing. Drying is not necessary. StrataGRT should be reapplied when changing the dressing or checking the wound progress, or as advised by the physician.
Additional directions: For best results StrataGRT should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week). StrataGRT may be re-applied more often to ensure constant contact with the skin, or to reduce symptoms. StrataGRT can be applied directly to the wound, using the finger, Q-Tip etc. StrataGRT will not absorb exudate or wound fluid. The film formed by StrataGRT will not prevent the fluid from escaping from the wound. StrataGRT may be used in combination with absorbent dressings. Apply StrataGRT directly to the wound or to the contact side of the secondary dressing. Applying StrataGRT on the wound edges will help prevent maceration. If not completely dry, StrataGRT 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. IMPORTANT: Due to StrataGRT‘s semi-permeable nature:
• StrataGRT may enhance the effect of an active ingredient if StrataGRT is applied over the active ingredient.
• StrataGRT may prevent or reduce absorption of active ingredients if they are applied over StrataGRT.
