Medline Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant for Frail and Damaged Skin

Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant Overview

Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant by MedLine is a liquid-applied skin protector for damaged and fragile skin. Marathon Protectant is made from cyanoacrylate monomers, which bond to the skin without leaving any gaps or openings that could cause maceration or infection. This product can be used on damaged or intact skin, periwound skin, and peristomal skin. Marathon is robust, flexible, and long-lasting making it ideal for wound care. It's also fast drying and breathable, preventing maceration and friction at the wound site. Marathon does not sting and can be spread using the sponge applicator, or dripped on and spread to achieve ideal skin protection.

Another liquid wound dressing product to consider is Carrasyn Hydrogel Wound Dressing.
