Skin Care and Protection in the use of Condom Catheters

Meticulous hygiene is essential for those who wear condom catheters to prevent bladder and fungal infections. Constant observation of skin condition is also crucial in recognizing skin problems before they become severe. For advice on attaching a condom catheter over small wounds see our adhesives page .

Preventox Skin Protection

Made by Manfred Sauer Continence Systems Preventox is a skin protection fluid. It builds a protective film, which is elastic and allows the skin to breathe. This protective film improves the strength of the adhesive when you apply a urinary condom.

  • Cleans and Disinfects - due to high alcohol content.
  • Protects - by coating the skin with a breathable film.
  • Improves adhesive strength - Increases the adhesive action of skin adhesive, adhesive tapes, self-adhesive condom and ostomy products.

Note: Do not apply Preventox to broken skin as it has an alcohol base. Use a hydrocolloid tape or dressing to protect broken skin under a condom – always consult your specialist nurse or doctor in such cases. However, you can use Preventox to treat skin redness.

Guidelines

To obtain optimal adhesion and prevent skin irritation when using skin adhesive, follow these guidelines:

- Try to maintain normal skin moisture (not too dry and not too greasy).

- Refrain from using greasy soaps, shower gels, bath oils and body lotions, etc. (they reduce good adhesion).

- Never adhere a condom directly after a bath as the skin will be waterlogged. If possible delay attaching condom for 15 to 20 minutes. If this is not possible, use a skin protecting film like Preventox wipes.

- We do not recommend skin preparations containing solvents as they dry out and irritate the skin.
