Medi DERMA-S Total Barrier Cream - 90g

Medi Derma-S Total Barrier Cream 90 g is a protective, moisturising barrier cream designed to form a transparent, waterproof layer on the skin that helps defend intact, sensitive or mildly damaged skin against the harmful effects of moisture, friction, adhesives and bodily fluids such as urine and faecal exposure.

This barrier cream supports skin hydration and helps maintain skin integrity and comfort, making it suitable for individuals prone to moisture-associated skin damage (MASD), incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) or skin irritation from general wear and tear.

Key Benefits

• Forms a long-lasting, waterproof protective barrier to support skin resilience.

• Helps maintain skin hydration and reduces dryness.

• Quick-drying, transparent formula does not interfere with adhesive devices or dressings.

• Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, latex-free, paraben-free and phthalate-free — suitable for sensitive or at-risk skin.

• Suitable for daily protective use and for mild or moderate skin damage.

Follow the product leaflet and seek professional advice as required.

1. Clean and dry skin thoroughly before application to ensure optimal barrier formation.
2. Apply a thin, even coating of Medi Derma-S Total Barrier Cream over the area needing protection.
3. Use a pea-sized amount to cover an area roughly the size of your palm; do not over-apply.
4. Allow the cream to absorb and dry before applying dressings, tapes or clothing.
5. Reapply twice daily or after each dressing change if using adhesive dressings or devices.
6. Continue regular use during episodes of incontinence or as recommended by a clinician to support ongoing barrier care.

? Tip: A little goes a long way — over-application can leave an oily residue that may affect adhesion of dressings.
