Strataderm is a rapidly drying, non-sticky, transparent silicone gel formulation for the treatment of scars, both old and new. Strataderm is used for the prevention and treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars. Strataderm is suitable for children and people with sensitive skin.
The Updated International Clinical Recommendations on Scar Management confirmed that silicone gel should be used as first line therapy in the initial management of scars and in the prevention of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
For professional scar therapy.
Suitable for use on all types of scars including those resulting from:
• General and cosmetic surgery
• Trauma and bites
• Burns and chronic wounds
• Acne, and other diseases of the skin.
Product Claims: When used as directed Strataderm dries to form a silicone gel sheet, a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects scars from chemical and microbial invasion, allowing scars to normalise the collagen synthesis cycles, producing a normal mature scar.
Key Features:
• Applied once daily, making it easy to use.
• Softens and flattens raised scars.
• Relieves itching and discomfort of scars to provide symptomatic relieve.
• Reduces redness and discolouration associated with scars.
• Prevents abnormal and excessive scar formation.
• Suitable for all areas of the skin, including exposed areas like face and neck as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.
• Once dry, Strataderm can be covered by sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts.
• Strataderm is inert, has no measurable pH, and contains no alcohol, parabens, or fragrances, making it suitable for children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and people with sensitive skin.
Directions:
Ensure that the scar is clean and dry.
Apply a very thin layer of Strataderm to the scar and allow to dry.
When applied correctly, Strataderm should be dry in 3-4 minutes. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a tissue and allow the drying process to continue.
Once dry, Strataderm can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts.
Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician.
For best results Strataderm should maintain continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day / 7 days a week).
Usage Advice:
Recommended duration of treatment Strataderm is recommended as a minimum treatment of 60-90 days (24 hours a day/7 days a week). Larger and older scars may take longer. Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen. How much Strataderm do I need? Strataderm is an advanced formulation that requires less product per application than typical creams or gels.
Strataderm 10g is enough to treat a 5-7 cm linear scar for over 90 days.
Warnings:
• For external use only.
• Strataderm should not be applied on third-degree burns or to open wounds.
• Strataderm should not be placed in contact with mucous membranes or the eyes.
• Strataderm should not be applied over other skin treatments without the advice of your physician.
• Strataderm may stain clothing if not completely dry. If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it without damaging the fabric.
