Coverplast^® Barrier provides a two-way barrier to the risk of contamination and secondary bacterial and viral infections which can ultimately be life-threatening, for patients and care-givers alike. Coverplast^® Barrier is waterproof and microporous, allowing the skin to breathe; preventing maceration whilst promoting faster healing. Patients can wash and bathe as normal without compromising the protection, and the soft textured finish provides for a high degree of patient comfort. Low-adherent pad provides cushioning and absorbency, and the low allergy acrylic adhesive means fewer skin reactions.
