Medline Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant is a non-cytotoxic cyanocrylate film barrier that protects the skin from the effects of friction and moisture that can cause maceration. It bonds to the skin surface and integrates with the epidermis as the cyanoacrylate polymerizes at the molecular level while supporting the natural integrity of the skin. Marathon reacts with the moisture and skin surface to create a strong film that is thicker and more durable than most liquid skin protectants and stays on the skin until the dead cells shed off naturally.

Medline Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant Features

  • Can be used on intact or damaged skin
  • Protects from moisture (urine, exudate, sweat, and other bodily fluids) that can cause maceration
  • Non-stinging, contains no solvents or activators
  • Marathon shows greater protective capabilities than 3M Cavilon against corrosive fluids (synthetic urine) and wash-off
  • Minimizes friction and reduces the risk of developing skin tears
  • Creates a strong physical barrier against abrasive forces
  • Also recommended for damaged skin to protect against further breakdown
  • Marathon should be used on at-risk areas such as the sacrum, buttocks and groin area
  • Healed wounds never attain the same breaking strength (the tension at which skin breaks) as uninjured skin
  • Applying Marathon to the skin once it has closed should help protect it and maintain integrity

How does Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant Works?

MARATHON Cyanoacrylate Skin Protectant consists of individual molecules (cyanoacrylatebased 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 away, maintaining skin integrity. Because no solvents are used, there is no evaporation and 100% of the product remains on the skin.

How to Apply Marathon Skin Protectant?

  1. Clean and dry the skin, making sure that no moisturizer or ointment is left on the skin.
  2. Hold the applicator upright with the sponge tip at the top. Crush the sealed inner tube by firmly squeezing the middle of the tube.
  3. If additional pressure is needed, include your other hand. Do not try to bend or snap the tube in half.
  4. Turn the applicator upside down and gently squeeze it to allow the liquid to soak through the sponge tip.
  5. Once the sponge is wet, slowly and gently spread a thin, even coat of Marathon that extends about 2.5 cm beyond the affected area.


Contraindications:

  • Second or third degree burns
