Maintaining skin protection for up to 96 hours.
Cutimed PROTECT provides an effective barrier against irritation caused by incontinence and wound fluids. In comparison to untreated skin Cutimed PROTECT shows a longlasting performance in its barrier function.
Keeping the adhesion properties of dressings.
Tests clearly show that skin pre-treated with the Cutimed PROTECT foam applicator does not reduce the adhesive force of dressings applied to the skin on the back 24 hours earlier in comparison to untreated skin.

Preserving healthy moisture levels in the skin.
The natural barrier function of healthy skin provides for a specific moisture balance. Measurements of the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) show significantly decreasing values for Cutimed PROTECT compared to untreated skin – and clearly prove: Cutimed PROTECT preserves a healthy moisture level while keeping the skin permeable to water vapour and oxygen.
