Protecta-Gel® Facial Skin Barrier, Regular. Hypoallergenic and made from medical grade mineral oil-based gel. Super soft barrier between the patient's skin and their full face mask or nasal mask. Unique patented "pressure absorbing ribs" to help increase comfort and decrease soreness, marks and wounds to the nasal bridge, upper and lower cheek bone areas. Unlike other “gels or dressings currently on the market, the Protecta-Gel® is patented with a unique “Rib” like design solely responsible for added protection. This unique design replicates shock absorbers which create comfort for Non Invasive ventilation (NIV), CPAP full face mask users. The Protecta-Gel® allows the caregiver or user to “cut” or “trim” the product to size to ensure a more accurate fit. Tapered ends will help to prevent leaks and improve comfort. No adhesives necessary. Easy to clean with mild soap and water. Air dry. Replace after 30 days of use.
