Post Surgical procedure dressing.

Appropriate post-surgical procedure skin and wound care is essential during the recovery period and allows minimize the scar and improve cosmetic outcome.

Stratamed is a very effective and safe form of primary wound dressing essential for various open wounds and compromised the skin.  Its formula creates optimal conditions that speed up the healing process and reduce the inflammatory side effects. Its formula has been developed with a special consistency allows to form a strong bond between the wound dressing gel and the wound bed or damaged surface. As a result, it helps to prevent the formation of abnormal scarring, which usually results from various injuries and skin damages (e.g. cuts and burns).

Stratamed is flexible and allows full contact. It dries on the affected area and forms a thin layer which functions as a flexible protective covering.

Stratamed helps to reduce the downtime because it creates optimal conditions that speed up the healing process of the wound (s).

Stratamed is bacteriostatic since it helps to protect the compromised skin from the potential invasion of microbes and bacterial growth.

Stratamed helps to relieve symptoms, such as discomfort, itching, burning, swelling, and redness.

Stratamed has a non-reactive formula. It is inert, has no pH value, does not contain alcohol, paraben or fragrances. Stratamed is designed for all types of skin. Pregnant women, mothers who breastfeed, children, and individuals with sensitive skin can safely use it if needed.

It is recommended to use Stratamed immediately after the appearance of new open wounds or compromised skin as a result of surgical or cosmetic procedures or after an injury (e.g. cuts and burns).

Stratamed dries and forms a thin, protective and flexible layer which creates waterproof and gas-permeable conditions. The compromised skin areas and open wounds remain hydrated and well-protected from different microbial and chemical invasions.

After application of Stratamed, the epidermal cells get stimulated to move up to the surface of dermis via the wound exudate which is being collected at the interface of the wound dressing. This environment ensures that secondary tissue damage is prevented from the dehydration. Moreover, it also promotes enzymatic autolytic debridement. The wound dressing interphase promotes the benefits of growth factors that help to heal wounds. Stratamed emulates the epidermal barrier and enhances the healing process. It prevents water loss while at the same time helps to maintain the appropriate rate of oxygen transfer.

Stratamed is recommended to be applied once or twice per day on the exposed area(s). In order to achieve the best results, it is recommended to keep Stratamed continuously on the affected area(s).

How to apply Stratamed? First, the affected skin and/or wound has to be clean. It is also recommended to dry this area as much as possible from any excess exudate and wound fluid by gently patting. Then, a very thin layer of Stratamed has to be applied directly on the affected area(s). The gel has to dry, which usually takes approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Once it is dried up, Stratamed can be covered with cosmetic products, clothes, and/or sunscreen.

How to remove Stratamed? Any excess amount of Stratamed on hands can be removed by simply washing them under warm water and using liquid soap. On the affected area(s) the excess amount of Stratamed can be removed either with a paper towel or tissue so that drying can occur within recommended 5-6 minutes.

Centre for Medical and Surgical Dermatology recommends Stratamed after surgical procedures to their patients for the advanced wound healing process.
