Strataderm is easily applied to all areas of the skin, including exposed areas like the face and neck as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.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 your scar from chemical and microbial invasion, allowing scars to normalize the collagen synthesis cycles, producing a normal mature scar.Strataderm is used to soften and flatten scars, relieve the itching and discomfort of scars as well as reduce redness and discoloration associated with scars.Strataderm was developed for use on all types of scars including those resulting from:- General Surgery- Trauma- Chronic wounds- Burns- Bites- Acne and other diseases of the skin ** Intended use:Strataderm is used for the prevention and treatment of Keloids and Hypertrophic scars. Strataderm can also be used in conjunction with other invasive scar management options to improve overall results, including surgical excision and resuturing, intralesional injections and pressure garments. Strataderm is suitable for children or people with sensitive skin. Strataderm is safe to use on infants, during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. ** Directions for use:- Ensure that the scar is clean and dry- Apply a very thin layer of Strataderm to the scar and allow to dry.- Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician.- For best results Strataderm should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24hrs day).- 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 by sun screen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts. ** Recommended duration of treatment:Strataderm is recommended as minimum treatment of 60–90 days (24/7). Larger and older scars may take longer. Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen. ** Manufacturer:Stratpharma AG, CH-4051 Basel, Switzerland
