Marathon Cyanoacrylate Liquid Skin Protectant, .5G 10/Box

High-Strength, Liquid Film intended to protect damaged skin.

NEW Technology ideal for minor abrasions, blisters, skin irritations. Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant is a non-cytotoxic cyanoacrylate-based monomer that forms a remarkably strong protective layer over skin. It resists external moisture and friction, yet it allows the skin to breathe.

In simple words, Marathon is a medical grade glue that will bond to your skin and provide protection against shear and moisture. It is one of the best liquid skin protectants on the market.

In technical terms, Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant consists of individual molecules (cyanoacrylate-based monomers) that polymerize when they come in contact with moisture on the skin surface. This reaction continues until 100% of the monomer molecules have joined either to each other (cohesion) or to molecules of substances present in skin (adhesion). This type of bonding with skin ensures that the product remains in place until the epidermal cells naturally slough awayy, maintaining skin integrity. Because no solvents are used, there is no evaporation and 100% of the product remains on the skin.

Recommended Uses:

• Protection from adhesive trauma
• Protection from corrosive fluids
• Protection from friction

About Marathon Cyanoacrylate Liquid Skin Protectant:

• Long Lasting – Can remain intact 3-5 days even after exposure to washing. Helps the skin to repair and heal.
• Versatile – applied to any area where friction, chaffing or repeated moisture can compromise skin.
• Proven Safety and Efficacy –Clinical studies on most fragile, compromised skin. (Elderly, neonates)
• Quick Setting – 1 minute dry time, No Sting!
• Ease of Use – Simple applicator delivers control and precision when needed.
• Non-stinging – contains no solvents or activators.

Product Use

• Forms strong, flexible protective barrier
• Protects from the effects of friction
• Protects from moisture (urine, exudate, sweat, and other bodily fluids) that can cause maceration
• Can be used on intact or damaged skin
• Dries in less than 1 minute
• Easy sponge-tip applicator

Bonds to the skin surface and provides higher strength and higher resistance to wash off than other thin film barriers. It is resistant to external moisture but allows skin to breathe, minimizes friction and reduces the risk of developing skin tears, and protects skin from prolonged exposure to moisture, which weakens and damages the skin surface and makes it more susceptible to breakdown. Latex-free.
