Description
The Cutimed Protect Foam Applicator paints a durable, waterproof barrier film onto intact or irritated skin, shielding it from adhesives, wound fluids, bodily waste and shearing forces. Each sterile applicator carries its own measured dose in 1 mL or 3 mL sizes, in boxes of twenty-five.
- Waterproof film – the polymeric solution dries to an even barrier that bodily fluids and exudate cannot cross.
- Up to 96 hours – one application protects for up to four days before renewal is due.
- Measured sterile dose – every sachet holds one foam applicator pre-loaded with 1 mL or 3 mL of protectant.
A Painted-On Shield for Skin That Fluids Keep Attacking
Skin around wounds and stomas breaks down when exudate, urine or feces sit against it hour after hour, and adhesive removal strips away what moisture leaves behind. This protectant answers with a polymeric film that forms as the solution dries, sealing the surface under a waterproof barrier. The film flexes with the skin as it moves, so it does not crack and lose protection at joints and folds. Protection lasts up to 96 hours, which carries most patients from one dressing change to the next without renewal. When removal is wanted, most medical adhesive removers lift the film cleanly.
Features and Benefits
The applicator format keeps the dose exact and the application touch-free.
Barrier Performance
- Waterproof Barrier Film: the dried film blocks wound exudate, digestive fluids and bodily waste from reaching the skin.
- Up to 96 Hours of Protection: the moisture barrier lasts up to 96 hours on undisturbed skin.
- Flexible Film: the barrier flexes with skin movement and will not crack, so coverage stays continuous.
Skin Protection
- Adhesive Protection: the film shields skin from the irritation and stripping caused by tapes, dressings and devices.
- Shear Protection: the sealed surface also guards against irritation from shearing forces.
- Intact or Irritated Skin: the protectant is made for use on intact skin and on skin that is already irritated.
Application
- Foam Sponge Applicator: the pre-loaded foam tip spreads a uniform coating without fingers touching the site.
- Sterile Single-Use Sachets: each applicator is sterile and used once, which keeps application hygienic.
- Easy Removal: most medical adhesive removers lift the film when protection is no longer needed.

Why Choose the Cutimed Protect Foam Applicator?
Barrier protection only works when it is actually applied, at the right dose, every time. Pre-loaded sterile applicators remove the measuring, the mess and the guesswork from that step.
- Exact dose – each sachet carries its measured amount, so coverage is uniform from patient to patient.
- Touch-free – the foam tip applies the film without a gloved finger crossing the site.
- Four-day cover – a 96-hour barrier spans the gap between routine dressing changes.
- Two sizes – the 1 mL applicator suits small sites, while 3 mL covers larger periwound and peristomal areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the barrier last?
One application provides a barrier for up to 96 hours. Frequent cleansing shortens that window, and heavy exposure such as chronic diarrhea can call for renewal every 12 to 24 hours.
What does the film protect against?
It shields skin from bodily waste and fluids, wound exudate, adhesive products and shearing forces. That makes it a primary barrier against irritation from bodily fluids.
Can it go under dressings and tape?
Yes, let the film dry fully, about 30 seconds, before covering it with a dressing or adhesive product. Reapply at every change, because most adhesives remove the barrier film as they come off.
How is it applied?
Clean and dry the affected area, remove the applicator from its sachet and spread a uniform coating over the skin. If an area is missed, let the first coat dry and then touch up only that area.
How is the film removed?
Most medical adhesive removers lift the film when removal is wanted. Cleanse and dry the area afterwards, then reapply protectant if protection is still needed.
Where should it not be used?
It should not be used on infected skin. It is intended for intact skin and for skin that is already irritated by fluids, adhesives or shear.
