How Marathon works?
MARATHON Liquid Skin Protectant consists of individual molecules (cyanoacrylate-based monomers) that polymerize when they come into contact with moisture on the skin surface. This reaction continues until 100% of the monomer molecules have joined either to each other (cohesion) or to molecules of the substances present in skin (adhesion).
This type of bonding with skin at a molecular level ensures that the product remains in place until the epidermal cells naturally slough away, enhancing skin integrity.
How should Marathon be used?
MARATHON Liquid Skin Protectant is contained in a single-use sterile applicator. Each 0.5 g applicator can cover a 4” x 4” area. The product should be applied in a very thin layer, without covering thesite more than once.
MARATHON can be used when the epidermis is broken or damaged. However, it should not be applied directly to deep, open, chronic or bleeding wounds. It adheres to the skin and dries in less than a minute. Can remain on the skin for several days. It will wear off naturally as the skin regenerates.
