LBF^®

To protect skin from bodily fluids, friction abrasions or adhesive trauma, many ostomates use a protective skin barrier. However, traditional skin barriers are formulated with alcohol, which dries the skin and can cause stinging.

LBF is an alcohol free protective skin barrier for even the most delicate skin.

It is available in a range of formats including: LBF Barrier Cream, LBF Sterile No Sting Barrier Wipes and, most recently, LBF No Sting Barrier Film Spray and LBF Sterile No Sting Barrier Film Foam Applicator. The Wipes use silicone technology to leave a protective film on the skin that dries rapidly without stinging and provides an ideal application base for adhesive devices such as stoma bags. The Barrier Cream moisturises the skin whilst helping to maintain skin integrity, making it ideal for everyday use. LBF No Sting Barrier Film Spray provides 360° dispensing and a uniform spray pattern for maximum coverage that can reach all areas, even when the can is upside down and the sterile single use Film Foam Applicator is designed to be applied with precision.

The features of LBF are:

Sterile and non-cytotoxic
Formulated with silicone
Alcohol free
Non-paraben based

How to use LBF Wipes

LBF is so gentle on skin it can be used as often as required. Ensure skin is clean and dry before use.

1. Simply remove wipe from the sterilised sachet

2. Wipe over the area to be treated with an even coating

3. LBF dries in seconds. If an area of skin is missed, wait a few seconds until the first application dries and then reapply.

4. If applying LBF to an area of skin where there are skin folds present, the skin contact areas will need to be separated to allow LBF to dry properly.

Allow LBF to dry completely (it only takes a few seconds) before applying any device. Use of LBF with other creams, oils or lotions may reduce its effectiveness.
