Description

Derpixa is an occlusive, non-resorbable, self-drying and transparent gel.

When used as directed Derpixa dries to form a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects compromised skin areas and superficial wounds from chemical and microbial invasion.

Derpixa helps to promote a moist healing environment.

This moist wound healing environment promotes faster re-epithelialization1and reduces the skin's acute inflammatory response.

Derpixa is suitable for large surface areas and contoured skin like head, face, hand and foot, as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.

Derpixa may be directly applied to dry skin, open wounds and compromised or desquamating skin surfaces, including cutaneous rashes.

Derpixa gel is bacteriostatic and inert.

It contains no alcohols, parabens or fragrances.

Derpixa can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing.

Derpixa is suitable for children and people with sensitive skin.

Derpixa is intended for single patient use.

Directions for use

On the first use of 1 oz (28.5 g) tubes remove the cap, then the protective seal and close with the cap after use.

Ensure that the affected superficial area is clean and dry.

Apply a very thin layer of Derpixa directly to the affected area and allow the gel to dry.

When applied correctly to exposed areas, Derpixa should be dry in 5–6 minutes.

If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much.

Gently remove the excess with a clean tissue or gauze and allow the drying process to continue.

Once dry, Derpixa may be covered by sunscreen, cosmetics and clothing.

Derpixa should be applied at least twice daily to affected areas, as needed or as advised by your physician.

For best results Derpixa should be maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/7 days a week).

How much Derpixa do I need?

Derpixa gel is an advanced formulation that requires substantially less product per application than typical creams or gels.

Derpixa 1 oz (28.5 g) is enough to treat an area of 6 × 12 inch (15 × 30 cm) twice per day for 30 days.

Warning

For external use only.
Derpixa should not be placed in contact with the eyes.
Derpixa should not be applied over topical medications unless advised by your physician.

For correct storage please reclose the tube tightly with the cap.
