Post-Surgical Procedure Dressing

Appropriate post-surgical skin and wound care is critical for achieving successful healing, minimizing scar formation, and optimizing cosmetic outcomes. Consistent adherence to proper wound-care measures significantly reduces the risk of complications and supports healthy tissue regeneration.

Stratamed is a highly effective and safe primary wound-dressing gel used for a wide range of open wounds and compromised skin. Its formulation creates an ideal environment for accelerated healing while reducing inflammation and the risk of abnormal scarring, such as hypertrophic scars and keloids, which may develop after injuries, burns, or surgical procedures. Stratamed's unique consistency allows it to form a strong, durable bond with the wound bed or damaged skin surface, ensuring continuous protection throughout the healing process.

The product is non-reactive and entirely inert, containing no alcohol, parabens, fragrances, or preservatives. Stratamed has no measurable pH and is bacteriostatic, helping protect compromised skin from microbial invasion and bacterial proliferation.

For optimal outcomes, Stratamed should be applied immediately following the appearance of a new wound or after surgery, cosmetic procedures, or accidental injuries such as cuts and burns. Once applied, it dries to form a thin, flexible, protective film that is both waterproof and gas-permeable. This barrier keeps the wound appropriately hydrated while shielding it from external contaminants and irritants. By maintaining balanced moisture levels, Stratamed helps relieve symptoms such as discomfort, itching, burning, swelling, and redness.

The recommended application frequency is once or twice daily on clean, dry skin. Continuous coverage ensures the best possible healing results. Stratamed is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be safely used by pregnant individuals, breastfeeding mothers, children, and those with reactive skin.

To apply, the wound or affected area should first be gently cleansed. Excess wound fluid or exudate should be lightly blotted away before applying a thin layer of Stratamed directly to the skin. The gel typically dries within five to six minutes. Once dry, it may be covered with clothing, sunscreen, or cosmetic products.

After application, epidermal cells migrate across the protected wound surface, facilitated by the moisture maintained at the dressing interface. This environment supports autolytic debridement, prevents secondary tissue damage from dehydration, and allows essential growth factors to function effectively during tissue repair. By emulating the natural epidermal barrier, Stratamed minimizes transepidermal water loss while allowing appropriate oxygen exchange, thereby promoting efficient wound healing.

Excess product on the hands can be removed with warm water and liquid soap. Any extra gel on the treated area can be gently patted away with a tissue to ensure proper drying within the recommended timeframe.

Centre for Medical and Surgical Dermatology, led by Dr. Maksym Breslavets, routinely recommends Stratamed to support advanced wound healing following dermatologic surgical procedures. Its protective and regenerative properties make it an integral component of high-quality post-operative care.
