Stratamed Advanced Film-Forming Wound Dressing 5g

General Information Stratamed is an advanced wound dressing with proven benefits. Unlike other wound dressings, the self-drying formulation of Stratamed forms a protective, flexible film over a wound. Stratamed helps create an optimal healing environment that leads to faster wound healing resulting in reduced downtime and risk of abnormal scar formation. Stratamed protects the compromised skin from microbial and chemical invasion, is an alternative to topical antibiotics and protects wounds from infections. Stratamed is flexible and adapts to all kinds of wound surfaces. This results in a more comfortable dressing that stays in contact with the skin and can simply be re-applied rather than needing to be removed like a traditional dressing. Stratamed was developed for the use on all types of superficial wounds, burns, skin tears and abrasions including those resulting from surgery, trauma, burns, bites, grazes, tattoo removal, chemical peels, dermal abrasion, cryotherapy, acne and other diseases of the skin. For faster wound healing and early abnormal scar prevention Suitable For: Stratamed may be applied to open wounds, burns and areas where skin integrity has been compromised. Stratamed is used for: • The protection and hydration of superficial wounds, burns and compromised skin. • The prevention and treatment of keloids, hypertrophic and excessive scars. Stratamed may also be used in conjunction with invasive scar management options to improve overall results, including surgical excision and resuturing, intralesional steroid injections, laser treatments and pressure garments. Stratamed contains no steroids, alcohol, parabens or fragrances and is transparent and odourless. Stratamed is suitable for children and people with sensitive skin. Stratamed may be used on infants, during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Stratamed is intended for single patient use. Product Claims: A full contact flexible wound dressing which provides a moist wound healing environment and abnormal scar prevention.
