Overview
Stratamed Advanced Film-Forming Wound Dressing is a self-drying gel that creates a thin, transparent film on compromised skin. This protective layer helps shield the wound from contaminants while maintaining a moist environment that many users find comfortable during daily activities.
Key benefits at a glance
- Advanced film-forming gel dries to a flexible protective layer over open wounds and damaged skin
- Transparent and odorless, it blends with skin and allows easy observation of the wound bed
- Provides a barrier against external microbes and chemical irritants while letting skin breathe
- Adaptable to various wound surfaces and can be used with or without traditional dressings
- Supports early scar management by enabling coverage without waiting for suture removal
Usage and applications
In addition to everyday injuries such as cuts, abrasions, and blisters, Stratamed is suitable immediately after fresh incisions, excisions, and biopsies, as well as ablative laser resurfacing, tattooing, microblading, and cosmetic procedures on the face or body.
Protection and practicality
- Once dry, the film remains in place and can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, secondary dressings, or garments like compression wear
- Stratamed can be reapplied as needed to support ongoing healing, with 24/7 skin contact permitted
- In clinical settings Stratamed is recognized for its innovative approach and is used as part of post-procedure care
Combination therapy
When healing progresses, many clinicians pair Stratamed with Strataderm Scar Therapy Gel to address post-procedure care and scar management considerations beyond wound closure.
Note: Individual results vary by wound type and skin sensitivity. Always follow product guidelines and consult a clinician for specific medical advice.
