Flamigel® RT - our solution for skin care during radiotherapy
Flamigel® RT is a smooth, fragrance-free gel, which, when applied to the skin, builds a barrier that protects the skin against radiotherapy induced skin reactions. Flamigel® RT is used for protecting the skin at risk from damage from radiotherapy (radiotherapy induced dermatitis). By creating a protective barrier, Flamigel® RT helps to prevent skin breakdown and sore skin which is often associated with radiotherapy treatment.

How to apply
1. Clean:
Clean the wound with running water or with a specific cleaning product such as Flamirins®.
2. Dry:
Gently pat the wound dry with a clean cloth.
3. Treat:
Apply 3 times per day a liberal amount of Flamigel® RT to the treated area and a large zone around it and gently massage. Close the tube after each usage. We advise that you continue to use Flamigel® RT until 7 to 10 days after the end of the radiation treatment. In case of doubt, consult your physician, pharmacist or radiotherapy nurse on how much longer you should continue to apply Flamigel® RT. Follow the general skin care recommendations from your radiotherapy centre.
