About
Protecting the skin is a complicated process that is often taken for granted until damage occurs. LBF Barrier Cream moisturises the skin whilst providing a protective barrier against the harmful effects of bodily fluids such as wound exudate and excessive perspiration, which can cause maceration and irritation. The cream is a skin-friendly formulation suitable for intact skin.
The waterproof formulation offers long-lasting protection and will not block incontinence pad absorbency. The cream’s balanced consistency makes it easy to apply and spread across the skin, which maximises coverage and reduces application time. Its highly concentrated formula covers a large area of skin, so a little cream goes a long way.
It also helps to protect against pressure, friction and shear which can lead to the formation of pressure ulcers.
LBF Barrier Cream is ideal for fragile skin as the barrier helps to prevent adhesive trauma and skin stripping caused by the repeated removal of adhesive medical devices and dressings.
Usage
- Skin should be clean and dry prior to application.
- Apply a uniform coating to the area of concern.
- Allow LBF Barrier Cream to dry before covering. Once dried, it will not affect any adhesion of further appliances.
- If LBF is applied to an area with skin folds or other skin-to-skin contact, make sure that skin-contact areas are separated to allow them to dry before returning to normal position.
- When used under stoma pouches, adhesive tapes or dressings, reapplication is necessary with every change of adhesive appliance as the barrier is removed by the adhesive.
- When used as a protectant against corrosive bodily fluids (including urine and faeces) and no adhesive products are applied to the skin, reapplication is recommended every 24-48 hours, depending on the frequency of cleaning. In extreme cases (e.g. constant diarrhoeal stooling) with very frequent cleansing, more frequent applications may be necessary (i.e. every 12-24 hours).
- If desired, the cream can be removed by using most medical adhesive removers.
