AproDerm Barrier Cream

AproDerm Barrier Cream

Fontus Health

Description

Formulated with a dual silicone barrier system consisting of dimethicone and trimethylsiloxysilicate (4%), AproDerm Barrier Cream provides a transparent, long-lasting and breathable protective layer which prevents bodily fluids and irritants from touching the skin thus protecting it from further damage and breakdown, whilst aiding healing. This non-sting barrier cream moisturises and conditions the skin whilst maintaining its pH to help restore skin integrity. Suitable for use on intact and damaged skin as well as with incontinence pads and adhesive dressings, AproDerm Barrier Cream goes on transparent so you can see the underlying skin healing. This gentle, non-greasy cream resists wash off and can be used to prevent and protect skin damage caused by incontinence, wound exudate, shearing, irritation due to adhesives and leakage at stoma sites as well as nappy rash. Suitable from birth and free from SLS, parabens, metals, alcohol, fragrances and colours, AproDerm Barrier Cream is scientifically formulated to maximise skin coverage so a 1p size amount covers an area of 100cm squared. Available on prescription as a 30g tube for discreet, on the go care and as a 100g tube.

Indications
