Advanced gel for chronic and hard to treat wounds
What is StrataGRT ?
StrataGRT is indicated for use on all types of chronic and acute wounds. StrataGRT is intended to be used under the direction of healthcare practitioners in the management of chronic and hard to treat wounds. Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
Film-forming, flexible, full contact
StrataGRT gel forms a thin, flexible film that ensures full contact with the wound.
Faster wound healing
StrataGRT promotes a moist healing environment for faster re-epithelialization.
Protection
StrataGRT is bacteriostatic, it protects the wound from chemical and microbial invasion, while reducing the risk for contact dermatitis.
Hydration and Gas permeability
StrataGRT dries to form a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates compromised skin areas and superficial wounds.
Secondary dressings
StrataGRT can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing, in combination with other wound care therapies and topical agents.
Hard to treat areas
StrataGRT is suitable for exposed areas like the face and neck as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.

Directions for use
Open the tube
On first use of 0.7oz (20g) tubes remove the cap, cut the nozzle tip of the tube and close with the cap after use.
Prepare your skin
Ensure that the affected superficial area is cleaned before each application. Gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to gel application.
On wounds not requiring a secondary dressing:
Apply StrataGRT
Apply a very thin layer of StrataGRT to the affected area.
Allow the gel to dry
When applied correctly to exposed areas, StrataGRT should be dry in 5 – 6 minutes.
If it takes longer to dry, you have probably applied too much. Gently remove any excess gel with a clean tissue or gauze and allow the drying process to continue.
StrataGRT should be applied twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician.
If StrataGRT has been removed by washing, it should be reapplied.
On wounds requiring a secondary dressing:
Apply StrataGRT
Apply a very thin layer of StrataGRT.
Cover with secondary dressing
Cover with a secondary dressing.
Drying of StrataGRT is not necessary.
StrataGRT should be reapplied when changing the dressing, when checking the wound progress, or as advised by your doctor.
Additional directions
- For best results StrataGRT should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week).
- StrataGRT can be applied directly to the wound, using the finger, Q-tip etc.
- StrataGRT will not absorb exudate or wound fluid. The film formed by StrataGRT will not prevent the fluid from escaping from the wound.
- StrataGRT may be used in combination with absorbent dressings. Apply StrataGRT directly to the wound or to the contact side of the secondary dressing.
- Applying StrataGRT on the wound edges will help prevent maceration.
Removing StrataGRT
Removing StrataGRT
Any excess of StrataGRT on your hands can be easily removed by washing them with liquid soap and warm water. Repeat if necessary.
Removing from clothes
StrataGRT may stain clothing if not completely dry. If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it without damaging the fabric.
StrataGRT and other products
StrataGRT should not be applied over topical medications unless advised by the physician.
IMPORTANT
Due to StrataGRT‘s semi-permeable nature:
- StrataGRT may enhance the effect of an active ingredient if StrataGRT is applied over the active ingredient.
- StrataGRT may prevent or reduce absorption of active ingredients if they are applied over StrataGRT.
Dosage andadministration
StrataGRT 0.7 oz (20g) is enough to treat an area of 5×5 inch (12×12 cm) twice per day for 30 days.
StrataGRT gel is an advanced formulation that requires substantially less product per application than creams or gels.
