FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY

INGREDIENTS 

Organic polymer in methylene chloride organic solvent

INTENDED USE AND PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Preventogen is indicated for providing a protective covering over closed surgical incisions and excisions, minor wounds and scrapes that are clean and dry

Forms a microbicidal barrier [destructive to microbes]

Preventogen provides an organic, clear, elastomeric, flexible, water-resistant, non-odorous film for covering minor wounds, cuts, abrasions, burns and scrapes

The film protects the wound against water, dirt and germs and is not intended as a treatment or cure for all types of wounds 

The elastomeric properties of the film help protect in difficult body regions where flexing, bending and creasing skin occurs

Protects wound during healing

Protects skin from blisters, calluses, and sores due to rubbing

PREPARATION 

Before applying Preventogen remove any moisturizers, lotions, soaps or creams thoroughly, clean and dry the skin

Protect sensitive areas, such as stomas and mucous membranes (mouth, eyes and inner nose)

APPLICATION 

Remove the applicator from the blister package 

Hold the applicator at a 45° angle and squeeze the tube with your thumb and forefinger just below the tip to break the internal vial and release the Preventogen solution into the tip (fig. 1)

Turn the applicator tip downward and gently squeeze the stick to wet out the tip, being careful not to press too hard, creating a drip 

Allow gravity to feed the tip, but you may gently squeeze the stick if more solution is needed (fig. 2)

To slow down the flow, release pressure on the stick 

When the tip is fully saturated, begin treating the surface immediately 

Apply the liquid evenly in a counter-clockwise orientation around the wound 

Cover an area that extends beyond the edges of the wound at least 1.25 in (fig. 3)

Momentary stinging may occur 

When used at room temperature, Preventogen will dry in less than one minute and form and polymerize into an elastomeric barrier 

Inspect the film to be sure a complete, continuous covering of the wound and the surrounding area has occurred 

Preventogen will cover an area approximately 5 in x 5 in, or 2 in x 11 in 

Ensure that Preventogen has completely dried before covering it with clothing, additional dressings, adhesives or athletic tape 

Depending on skin type, humidity, activity level and friction on the application surface, Preventogen will naturally wear off over 24 to 72 hours but may last longer when covered with additional dressing and/or areas that receive less friction and use 

You may begin to see raised edges of the Preventogen polymer after swimming, showering or physical activity 

The dry film covering should be inspected frequently for leakage and loosening of the edges 

Additional layers may be applied if the dry film begins to slough off or peel around the edges 

REMOVAL

To remove the film, wash the area with soap and water and gently peel off, starting at the outer edges
