What is the Medline Marathon Skin Protectant?
Marathon Skin Protectant is a non-cytotoxic and fast-drying liquid barrier film for the protection of damaged or intact skin, almost acting as a second layer of skin. It is applied as a liquid and dries within a minute, adhering to the contours of the skin to form a transparent flexible film. Marathon no-sting cyanoacrylate skin protectant will wear off naturally as the skin regenerates, protecting the patient from pain caused by rubbing.
How to Apply the Medline Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant
Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant is contained in a single-use sterile applicator. Each 0.5ml applicator can cover a 4 x 4" area.
- The product should be applied in a very thin layer, without covering the site more than once.
- Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant can be used when the epidermis is broken or damaged. However, it should not be applied directly to deep, open, chronic or bleeding wounds.
- Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant adheres to the skin and dries in less than a minute.
- Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant can remain on the skin for several days. It will wear off naturally as the skin regenerates.
Indications of Use
Marathon no-sting cyanoacrylate skin protectant is particularly useful for the following applications when skin has been exposed to:
- Irritation from moisture such as urine, faeces, digestive juices, perspiration and wound drainage
- Fiction and shear from bedding, clothing and shoes
- Against irritation caused by adhesive products
Can It Be Used Under Medical Devices?
Yes. The Marathon Skin protectant can be used under medical devices if necessary. This means it can be used for a versatile range of treatments within various industries.
Protects Weak and Injured Skin
Marathon Skin Protectant forms a strong protective layer over compromised skin, by way of a cyanoacrylate base. This wound-care product can be used as a barrier to protect skin wounds and damaged, fragile, peri-wound and peri-stomal skin from friction, moisture, shear or adhesive stripping.
Complete Skin Wound Care
Marathon Skin Protectant provides complete skin wound care by way of the creation of a strong film that is thicker and more durable than most liquid skin protectants. This strong film is created when the cyanoacrylate base comes in contact with moisture on the skin’s surface. When the cyanoacrylate polymerises to the skin’s surface, the product remains on the skin and does not evaporate upon application.
Offers Total Protection
In order to maintain skin integrity for even longer periods, 100 per cent of the Marathon Skin Protectant stays on the skin until skin cells are shed naturally. This skin glue gives certainty to patients and their healthcare providers that they are thoroughly protected from further damage.
How Does the Skin Protectant Benefit Patients?
Patients benefit from this skin glue because the Marathon Skin Protectant is:
- Robust and flexible
- Causes no stinging sensation
- Maintains breathable skin protection
- Dries quickly
- Is long-lasting
Where Can I Use the Liquid Skin Protectant?
The Liquid Skin Protectant is beneficial in the following environments:
- Care Homes
- Rehabilitation Centres
- Hospitals

The Medline Protectant could also be kept in a first aid kit in work spaces and at home.
