Barrier cream helps to improve the appearance, smoothness, suppleness and softness of skin without leaving a greasy feel. It allows skin to heal itself naturally, if it is used regularly. It forms a thin film on face, hands and body, which acts like a protective, invisible glove. It can help protect against physical agents such as too much heat, cold, solar radiation or pollutants.

Barrier reusable surgical gowns are used in surgery, which prevent exposure of health care workers and protect patients. These are made of woven fabrics and require laundering & sterilization between uses. The ability of reusable gowns to prevent transfer of pathogens through body fluids is determined by fabric characteristics, the bacteria, and characteristics of the bacteria-containing fluid.
