FAQs

How long does the barrier film last?

The Sorbaderm barrier film typically lasts for 24 to 72 hours, depending on the specific application, skin condition, and external factors like moisture or friction. Reapply as needed.

Can this spray be used on broken skin?

The 'No-Sting' formulation is designed for sensitive skin and is generally suitable for application on intact or lightly compromised skin. However, avoid applying directly to open wounds. Consult a healthcare professional for severe skin damage.

How do I remove the barrier film?

The barrier film wears off naturally over time. If removal is necessary, it can be gently removed with saline solution or a mild skin cleanser. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.

Is Sorbaderm Barrier Film Spray safe for children?

While the product is designed to be gentle, its use on children should ideally be under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially if they have underlying skin conditions.

Can I use this spray under a silicone-based dressing?

It is generally recommended to avoid using Sorbaderm Barrier Film Spray with silicone-based dressings unless the product manufacturer or the dressing manufacturer specifies compatibility. Silicone adhesives may not adhere well to the barrier film.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Please refer to the expiry date printed on the product packaging. Once opened, it is best to use within the recommended timeframe indicated by the manufacturer, typically several months to a year, provided it is stored correctly.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is blocked

Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before reattaching to the canister.

Barrier film does not appear to be forming

Ensure the skin is completely clean and dry before application. Shake the canister well before use and spray from the recommended distance for an even coating.

Skin irritation occurs after application

Discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure the product is applied correctly as a thin layer and that the skin is not overly sensitive to any component. Consult a healthcare professional.

Product sprays unevenly or splatters

Shake the canister vigorously for at least 15-20 seconds before use. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Hold the canister at the correct distance (10-15 cm).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sorbaderm Barrier Film Spray is ready to use directly from its canister. Ensure the skin area is clean, dry, and free from lotions or oils before application.

Application: Hold the spray approximately 10-15 cm from the skin and spray a thin, even layer over the intended area. Allow the film to air dry completely (usually within 30 seconds) before applying any dressings, tapes, or medical devices. For continuous protection, reapply every 24-72 hours, or as needed, depending on skin condition and external factors.

Compatibility: This barrier film is compatible with most medical tapes, hydrocolloids, and other wound care dressings. It is also suitable for use around adhesive-based medical devices. Avoid contact with silicone-based products unless specified as compatible.

Care: Store the spray at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the nozzle clean; if it becomes blocked, remove it and rinse gently with warm water, ensuring it is completely dry before reattaching. The canister should not be punctured or incinerated, even when empty.
