Instructions on How To Use Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant

16th Mar 2023

Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant is a skin barrier product that is used to protect the skin from irritation and damage caused by the adhesives used in ostomy appliances and other medical devices. It is typically applied to the skin around the stoma, or the area where the device will be attached, to create a barrier that helps to protect the skin from the adhesive and any waste that may come into contact with it.

To use Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant, follow these steps:

  1. Clean the skin around the stoma with soap and water, and pat dry with a clean towel.
  2. Shake the bottle of Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant well before use.
  3. Apply a thin layer of the protectant to the skin around the stoma, using the applicator tip or your finger. Be sure to cover the entire area where the appliance will be attached.
  4. Allow the protectant to dry completely before attaching the appliance. This may take a few minutes.
  5. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for attaching the appliance to your skin, making sure it is secure and there are no leaks.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for using Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant, and to talk to your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns. Be sure to reapply the protectant as needed, or as recommended by your healthcare provider. Here are some other popular skin protectant wipes and sprays used by ostomates.
