Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream moisturises and protects damaged and intact skin by forming a protective waterproof barrier, preventing irritation from bodily fluids, adhesive products and friction. Medicareplus International held sessions for Nursing staff and for Health Care Assistance on Medi Derma-S Barrier cream and treatment for MASD. The role of applying barrier cream was taken away from HCAS however under new MFT guidance this is due to be reinstated. The face-to-face tuition and support provided for these products has meant that HCAS are now deemed equipped to use these creams in practice which has a huge and positive impact on the CEC service and all patients and staff involved.Reapplication is recommended twice a day, if using adhesive dressings or devices then after each dressing or device change. Personally, I have only used the Medi Derma-S barrier cream to date and have found this to be an excellent product. My colleagues have used the Medi Derma- PRO Foam and Spray Incontinence Cleanser which have also been very effective. Medi Derma-S barrier cream is now used within Trafford Local Care Organisation (TLCO)/MFT as opposed to any alternative barrier cream." Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream provides gentle barrier protection on intact skin or for mild skin damage. Angela was great – her delivery was tailored to the staff in the room (e.g. area of work, job role and discussed the products on our formulary). The content was appropriate and very useful and all staff commented on how it will benefit them in practice – they have a better awareness of which products to use when and were already discussing plans on how to relay this information to their colleagues. I feel patient care will definitely improve as a result of staff receiving this training.
