Skin barrier and moisture protection cream

Description

Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream Tube 90g is a medical-grade moisture barrier cream formulated to provide gentle but effective protection for intact skin or skin with mild damage. It moisturises and protects the skin by forming a transparent, waterproof, hydrophobic barrier that helps prevent irritation and breakdown caused by bodily fluids, friction and adhesive products. The cream is quickly absorbed, long-lasting, and can be used during episodes of incontinence and around areas where dressings, ostomy pouches or other adhesive devices are applied. It can be used on all patient groups, including paediatric and elderly patients, and is free from alcohol, fragrance, latex, parabens and phthalates.

Packaging

90 g tube of Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream.

Tube format designed for controlled dispensing and hygienic application.
Product labelling typically includes batch number, expiry date, ingredients list, manufacturer details and instructions for use.

Usage

For external use only; follow local clinical protocols and the advice of a healthcare professional.
Ensure the skin is clean and thoroughly dry before application.
Apply a thin, uniform coating of cream over the area requiring protection; do not over-apply.
Use a pea-sized amount of cream to cover an area approximately the size of the palm of the hand.
When used for incontinence-associated skin protection, application is generally recommended twice daily (e.g., morning and evening), or more frequently if the skin is washed very often.
When used around wounds or stomas, reapply the cream at each dressing or pouch change as per local protocol.
Can be used under incontinence pads, as it does not block pad absorption.
Allow the cream to dry before applying dressings, pouches or adhesive devices.
Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Do not use on infected skin unless directed by a healthcare professional.
Discontinue use and seek medical advice if skin irritation or worsening of the condition occurs.

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the ingredients in the product.
Do not use on infected skin unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Not for ophthalmic, oral or internal use.

Adverse Effects

Potential for local skin irritation, redness or discomfort in individuals sensitive to any component of the cream.
Rarely, allergic contact dermatitis may occur in susceptible individuals.
If adverse reactions develop, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Duration

Duration and frequency of use depend on clinical need and the underlying cause of moisture exposure. For incontinence-associated skin protection, the cream is commonly applied twice daily and after frequent washing, and continued as long as the risk of moisture-associated skin damage persists.

Onset

Barrier protection begins immediately after application and drying, with progressive improvement in skin condition typically observed over days to weeks when used consistently as part of a comprehensive skin care regimen.
