Directions

*  Ensure that the affected skin or wound is clean.
* Gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to gel application.
*  For best results Stratamed should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day).

On damaged or broken skin not requiring a secondary dressing:
* Apply a very thin layer of Stratamed to the affected area and allow the gel to dry.
* Stratamed should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician.
* Once dry, Stratamed may be covered by sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts.
* When applied correctly to the affected areas, Stratamed should be dry in 5�C6 minutes. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a clean tissue or gauze and allow the drying process to continue.
