Medline Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant

More On Marathon Liquid Skin Protectant

How Does Marathon Work?

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?

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
• Infected areas
• Directly to the wound bed, or to deep puncture wounds

Change Frequency:

• Up to 3 days, reapply as needed

   It’s a great product but I had a really bad reaction to it. I hope I can find another product that works as well but with different ingredients in it.

   I was so happy to find this product (recommended by my physician) at a better price than Amazon. At first I was not impressed with the cost of USPS shipping for such a tiny lightweight parcel, but the cost of shipping was adjusted, and I do appreciate that.

7. Q

   Question: How do you wash it off if you need to?
   
   Also, I have hyperhydrosis on my face terribly. Any activity, even in the cold, causes my face to sweat, especially around my nose, upper lip, chin, and forehead. The constant dabbing and wiping can leave my skin raw, like a sunburn feeling. Would this help that not happen? (I know the sweat will happen, I mean will it protect from the irritation?)

   Asked by Julie on Apr 29, 2019 Report
   • A
     Answer: We would strongly suggest you to first consult your physician/doctor regarding compatibility of this product as per your medical condition.
