What are the benefits of using Proshield Plus Skin Protectant?

Proshield Plus Skin Protectant offers multiple benefits, including protection against moisture-related skin damage, moisturisation of dry skin, and prevention of IAD. It creates a visible barrier that allows for easy skin monitoring while maintaining skin integrity and comfort.

How does Proshield Plus Skin Protectant work?

Proshield Plus Skin Protectant works by forming a protective layer on the skin's surface, which acts as a barrier against moisture and irritants. The dimethicone-based formula with copolymer bioadhesives ensures the product adheres well to the skin, providing long-lasting protection while allowing the skin to breathe.

Is Proshield Plus Skin Protectant suitable for all skin types?

Proshield Plus Skin Protectant is formulated to be gentle and effective on various skin types. It's particularly beneficial for sensitive, fragile, or compromised skin. However, if you have specific skin concerns or allergies, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before use.

Can Proshield Plus Skin Protectant be used on open wounds?

While Proshield Plus is safe for use on injured skin, it's not designed for open wounds. For periwound skin protection, apply the product around the wound edges, but avoid direct contact with the wound bed. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare professional when dealing with open wounds.

Are there any side effects associated with using Proshield Plus Skin Protectant?

Proshield Plus Skin Protectant is generally well-tolerated. However, as with any topical product, some individuals may experience mild irritation or allergic reactions. If you notice any unusual skin changes or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Usage and Instructions

The frequency of application depends on individual needs and exposure to moisture. For best results, apply after each cleansing or as directed by a healthcare professional. In cases of severe incontinence or diarrhoea, reapplication may be necessary after each episode.
