Medline Critic-Aid Skin Protectant Thick Moisture Barrier Paste, 2.5-Ounce Tube

Medline Critic-Aid Skin Protectant is a thick, zinc oxide moisture barrier paste that shields peristomal and at-risk skin from the irritation caused by stoma output, moisture, and drainage. It is ideal for anyone managing a colostomy or ileostomy, as well as for neonatal use, and pairs seamlessly with your existing skin barrier and pouching routine to help keep skin healthy and protected.

This concentrated formula creates a durable, protective layer that stays put where you need it most. Because it adheres well to moist, dry, intact, or broken skin, it delivers a secure seal even in challenging areas, while remaining easy to apply and easy to remove. Used to fill uneven skin contours, creases, and problem spots, Critic-Aid helps prevent leaks and gives you day-to-day confidence in your ostomy care.

The paste is not made with natural rubber latex and, as an ostomy accessory, is FSA/HSA eligible. It comes in a convenient, travel-friendly 2.5-ounce tube for reliable protection at home or on the go. This product is available in multiple options - choose a single tube or a case of 12 - so please select your option below.
