RadiaPlex Rx Wound Gel Dressing

Patients undergoing radiation therapy often develop radiation dermatitis — reddened, irritated, or breaking-down skin in the treatment field. RadiaPlex Rx is formulated for exactly that situation, offering a hydrating gel dressing that supports the skin through the course of treatment and helps manage the discomfort that comes with it.

The core of this collection is the RadiaPlex Rx Wound Gel Dressing with Hyaluronic Acid in a 6 oz. tube (MP00106). Hyaluronic acid draws and holds moisture at the wound surface, creating the kind of moist environment that supports the body's natural healing process. The gel is applied topically to clean skin and can be used on partial- and full-thickness wounds, first- and second-degree burns, and skin reactions associated with radiation treatment. Because it comes in a tube rather than a fixed pad, it conforms to irregular areas and awkward locations that a traditional dressing won't cover neatly.

Clinicians and caregivers typically ask how often to apply it and whether it needs a secondary dressing — application frequency depends on wound condition and the guidance of the treating provider, and the gel can be covered with a secondary dressing when protection or absorption is needed. As a prescription-strength product, it should be used under the direction of a healthcare professional as part of a broader wound and skin-care plan.
