Please be aware that you should reduce your sun exposure during radiation therapy and always cover the irradiated area with loose clothes.

StrataXRT may stain clothes if not completely dry. If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it without damaging the fabric.

When applied correctly, StrataXRT should be dry in 5 to 6 minutes. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a tissue or gauze and allow the drying process to continue.

Its thickness can only be measured in micrometers.
