Askina® Barrier Cream
Protectant and moisture barrier
Askina® Barrier Cream acts as a lasting protective barrier on skin of incontinent patients, exposed to the irritating effect of urine and stools. It efficiently moisturizes very dry skin and can also be used for skin protection whenever there is a risk of skin breakdown due to prolonged contact with body fluids.
Advantages
- Effective prevention of skin breakdown associated with incontinence
- Highly concentrated: small amounts will cover a large surface
- Does not reduce the absorbency of incontinent pads
- Does not reduce the adherence of fixation tapes and dressings
- Temporarily resists wash–off; no need for frequent application
Indication
Askina® Barrier Cream is indicated for use on intact or damaged skin. It acts as a protectant and moisture barrier:
- Against maceration caused by incontinence or body fluids
- To protect sensitive, fragile and severely dry skin, including periwound areas
- To prevent skin irritation
