Flamigel® RT

Protection during radiotherapy from day 1

Flamigel® RT is a hydro-active colloid gel for the symptomatic treatment of low-grade radiotherapy-induced skin reactions such as red, dry, itching, flaking, peeling or irritated skin (dry desquamation). It can also be used to treat more severe skin reactions that can develop at a later stage of radiotherapy as partial skin breakdown and appearance of oozing blisters (moist desquamation). Flamigel® RT delays the onset and reduces the incidence of radiotherapy-induced moist desquamation.

What is Flamigel® RT?

Flamigel® RT is a hydro-active colloid gel (not a moisturizer/ emollient) which delays the onset and reduces the incidence of radiotherapy-induced moist desquamation.

How it works

Why Flamigel® RT?

  • Creation of an optimal moist environment for the injured skin to heal (for dry and moist desquamation)
  • Providing a barrier against contamination
  • Flamigel® RT forms a semipermeable film on the affected skin preventing microorganisms to enter to the injured skin
  • Pain relief by the cooling effect of the gel

Benefits of Flamigel® RT

Why use Flamigel® RT?

  • Safe: non-toxic to skin cells & promote natural healing
  • Effective: allows the skin to heal faster, reduce 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 to continue the prescribed radiotherapy treatment by delaying the onset and reducing the incidence of radiotherapy-induced moist desquamation (RIMD) effect
  • Less Risk of Scarring: helps to create optimal healing conditions to accelerate cell renewal, allowing the compromised skin to heal fast and therefore reduce 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.

Testimonials

Flamigel® RT patient testimonial - Paul Schneider

For patients undergoing radiotherapy, there are many things to think about before, during and after treatment. Looking after the skin is an important factor to consider in this and Flamigel® RT can help! Hearing patient stories are what reminds us why we do what we do- and why it’s so important! Paul underwent radiotherapy in 2020 after being diagnosed with cancer of the parotid gland. He was kind enough to share his story with us – how his diagnosis and treatment impacted his life, and how Flamigel® RT helped him throughout that journey.
