Scarring is a major consideration of cosmetic surgery<br />
patients. No one wants a scar post-procedure to detract<br />
from the fi nal results of their cosmetic enhancement.<br />
Stratamed is a breakthrough in post-procedure care and<br />
abnormal scar therapy. It is designed to accelerate tissue<br />
healing and prevent abnormal scar formation. In more technical<br />
terms, it is the fi rst semi-occlusive, advanced fi lm-forming<br />
silicone gel dressing, which can be applied on compromised<br />
skin directly after a procedure or skin trauma.<br />
Stratamed creates an optimal environment for faster wound<br />
healing. It helps reduce the infl ammatory response and reepithelialise,<br />
or lay down, skin on the wound bed.<br />
Once applied, Stratamed dries to form a full-contact,<br />
fl exible, protective sheet that bonds to the injured skin.<br />
Stratamed is bacteriostatic, which means no bacteria can grow<br />
on it or in it. Unlike fully occlusive medications (for example,<br />
petrolatum), Stratamed allows the wound and scar to breathe<br />
while remaining hydrated and protected.<br />
Stratamed does not adhere strongly to the healing tissue, so<br />
it can placed on the wound as the primary dressing. This semiocclusive<br />
eff ect works to protect the wound site, but also helps<br />
to improve hydration and speed up healing.<br />
During the healing process, Stratamed restores the barrier<br />
function of the outer-most epithelial layer – called the stratum<br />
corneum – and prevents dehydration of the skin. This allows the<br />
migration of skin cells across the wound bed for faster recovery.<br />
Only a small amount is required and each tube is designed<br />
to last 90 days. The best results are achieved when Stratamed<br />
is in continuous contact with the skin – literally 24/7 – in the<br />
days and weeks following a procedure or skin trauma. csbm<br />
