The ingredients of a cosmetic product are always stated on the packaging. Products that form part of the Cutimed PROTECT family are, however, medical products. The ingredients of a medical product and all important information relating to the use of this product are included in the form of a package insert. This is indicated by a symbol on the packaging (open book with an “i”).

We can never rule out the fact that a person may be allergic to one of the ingredients of this product.

The film of the products that form part of the Cutimed PROTECT family consists of only two ingredients (Disiloxane and Acrylates copolymer), which makes the possibility of a patient experiencing an allergic reaction rather unlikely. In the manufacturing stage of the three different forms of application of the Cutimed PROTECT family, specific attention is paid to the use of components that have the lowest allergic potential (e.g. dyes, scents).

A clinical study has not been carried out to date which compares the efficacy of Cutimed PROTECT products with the Cavilon Products produced by 3M under normal conditions of use.

Reports and examinations have not been written or carried out to date in relation to the use of Cutimed PROTECT beneath a plaster cast. However, the skin protective film does not contain adhesive properties after drying, therefore the plaster cast should not adhere to the film.
