Preferred Label : Silicone-based Film Forming Topical Gel;
NCIt synonyms : StrataXRT Gel; Silicone-based Film-forming Gel Dressing;
NCIt definition : An occlusive, non-resorbable, self-drying and transparent gel forming flexible wound
dressing containing dimethylpolysiloxane, dihydroxysiloxane and alkylmethylsiloxane,
that may be used for the prevention and treatment of radiation dermatitis, burns,
and superficial wounds. After application to the affected areas, the silicone-based
film forming gel dries as a thin, flexible and protective layer and creates a protective
film that is in constant contact with the skin. It maintains skin integrity, protects
the skin from excessive sloughing of the stratum corneum, prevents the compromised
skin from bacterial invasion and infections, reduces the skin's acute inflammatory
response, hydrates the affected area and promotes a moist wound healing environment.
This reduces itching, burning sensation, discomfort, redness, swelling, irritation
and pain, and leads to increased wound healing and skin recovery.;
