Flamigel® RT
Protection during radiotherapy
- Flamigel® RT creates an optimal moist environment for the injured skin to heal (for dry and moist desquamation)
- Provides a barrier against contamination
- Flamigel® RT forms a semipermeable film on the affected skin, preventing microorganisms from entering
- Pain relief by the cooling effect of the gel
Benefits of Flamigel® RT
Why use Flamigel® RT?
- Safe: non-toxic to skin cells & promotes natural healing
- Effective: allows the skin to heal faster, reduces the likelihood of scarring, helps to create optimal healing conditions to accelerate cell renewal
- Skin Regeneration: provides a protective barrier & supports skin regeneration between radiotherapy sessions
- Pain Relief: helps to reduce pain, redness and heat by its cooling effect and therefore soothes the exposed skin areas
- Continuous Radiotherapy: helps ensuring continuation of the prescribed radiotherapy treatment by delaying the onset and reducing the incidence of radiotherapy-induced moist desquamation (RIMD) effect
- Less Risk of Scarring: helps create optimal healing conditions to accelerate cell renewal, allowing the compromised skin to heal faster and reducing the risk of scarring
How to apply
1. Clean
Wash hands before and after application of Flamigel® RT. Clean the skin with clean water or with a specific wound cleanser, such as Flamirins®, if advised by your nurse or doctor.
2. Dry
Dry the skin gently with a clean towel by patting the skin.
3. Treat
Using your fingers apply liberally Flamigel® RT 3 times per day to the treated area. Use from day 1 of treatment. It is important to follow the general skin care recommendations of your radiotherapy centre.
