StrataCTX Q&A
What is StrataCTX
StrataCTX is a medical device; it is a semi-occlusive, self-drying and transparent gel.
StrataCTX may be applied directly to dry skin, open wounds and compromised or desquamating skin surfaces, including cutaneous rashes. StrataCTX gel is bacteriostatic and inert.
It contains no alcohols, parabens or fragrances.
How does StrataCTX work?
When used as directed StrataCTX dries to form a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects compromised skin areas and superficial wounds from chemical irritants and microbial invasion.
StrataCTX is a self-drying, non-sticky gel formulation that lightly bonds to the most superficial damaged skin layer.
StrataCTX helps to promote a moist healing environment for wounds or compromised skin. This moist wound healing environment promotes faster re-epithelialization and significantly reduces the skin’s acute inflammatory response.
Who can use StrataCTX?
StrataCTX is suitable for children and people with sensitive skin.
StrataCTX is intended for single patient use. It is ideal for large surface areas and contoured skin (e.g. head, face, hands and feet) as well as joints.
It can also be used on hairy areas without the need to shave them.
