Healthpoint PROSHIELD Skin Protection Products

For anyone managing incontinence-associated dermatitis, pressure areas, or fragile perineal skin, the barrier you choose matters. Healthpoint PROSHIELD is a line of skin protectants and cleansers formulated to shield vulnerable skin from moisture, urine, and stool — the everyday irritants that break down skin integrity in bedbound patients and those needing incontinence care.

The value of a dedicated barrier system is that it does two jobs at once: it protects intact skin before breakdown starts and creates a moisture barrier over already-irritated areas so healing can occur. PROSHIELD products are typically used by long-term care facilities, home caregivers, and wound care nurses who need protection that stays put through multiple incontinence episodes rather than washing away with each cleaning.

A common question caregivers ask is whether a barrier cream can be layered under a treatment ointment or applied over broken skin. Healthpoint formulated PROSHIELD to work as part of a consistent regimen — pairing a gentle, no-rinse cleanser with a protective barrier so the skin isn't scrubbed raw between changes. Reapplication instructions and frequency vary by product, so check individual labeling for guidance on damaged versus intact skin.

When comparing options, note that PROSHIELD product lines are associated with more than one manufacturer over the years, so it helps to confirm the exact formulation you need. You can explore the broader Proshield range, related DuPont ProShield protective products, and additional supplies within the Healthpoint collection to build a complete skin-care regimen for incontinence and pressure-injury prevention.
