Maintaining healthy skin is a key objective of care in many healthcare settings across all age ranges. But this is especially true for skin which can easily become damaged through dehydration, friction, adhesive products, or exposure to bodily fluids.

Rather than seeking to treat skin damage after the fact, it’s far better to prevent it from happening in the first place. That’s why, along with proper wound care, it’s essential to use the right products. And at the top of that list is an effective yet gentle barrier cream. 

Keep reading to learn more about Medi Derma-S barrier cream and discover why healthcare leaders wouldn’t use anything else. 

What is Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream?

Medi Derma-S barrier cream rehydrates and strengthens the skin. This increases its ability to resist damage from external forces, such as friction and bodily fluids, including wound leakage, urine, faeces, and sweat. 

As the name suggests, barrier cream also offers a gentle yet resilient protective barrier against exposure to these irritants and the skin damage they can cause. If there is already existing skin damage, such as Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD), barrier cream works to soothe the damaged skin while preventing future irritation at the same time. 

Since it’s designed for use in medical settings, Medi Derma-S barrier cream offers targeted protection around the area where the dressing, pouch, or adhesive device will be applied. Thanks to the way the barrier cream is easily absorbed into the skin, it quickly forms a transparent coating that protects the skin without impeding the adhesion of dressings, pouches, or adhesive devices. And, when used with incontinence pads, it doesn’t block absorption like some creams can. 

Another advantage of Medi Derma-S barrier cream is that it’s free from alcohol, fragrance, latex, parabens, and phthalates. This makes it suitable for everyone, including paediatric patients. 

For your convenience, Medi Derma-S barrier cream is available in both 28g and 90g tubes. These allow you to select and use the right amount of cream and reapply when needed for ongoing hydration and protection at home or away. 

You can also buy barrier cream sachets for a handy solution when you’re on the go. These come in boxes of 20 sachets, each containing 2g of barrier cream. 

Be a Leader, Not a Follower

Effective healthcare means being proactive rather than reacting to problems as they arise. Medi Derma-S barrier cream allows healthcare professionals to take the lead when it comes to keeping patients protected from MASD and skin maceration by preventing any future irritation. 

Being an effective leader also means leading by example and imparting your expert MASD knowledge to patients so that they can take care of their own health. With effective, convenient, and easy-to-use products such as Medi Derma-S barrier cream at their disposal, patients will gain the confidence they need for effective independent wound care and ongoing skin protection. 

This then has implications for the wider community, whereby spreading the word about MASD and the importance of barrier cream empowers as many people as possible to keep themselves fit and healthy. As events such as MASD Awareness Day show, being a leader in the community means raising awareness of MASD to help those most at risk while also providing them with the leading solution in the form of Medi Derma-S barrier cream.
