Shower Shield Water Barrier Wound Cover
Get clean while protecting your wound or medical device with Shower Shield
This latex-free shower cover for wound dressings is the answer to the age-old question of how to keep water from damaging or infecting dressings and medical devices. Shower Shield Water Barrier Wound Cover provides moisture-resistant coverage for your or your loved one’s wound dressings, central lines, stomas, shunts, catheters, colostomies and more.
Shower Shield Water Barrier Wound Cover is sold in packages that contain an assortment of pad sizes, including 4 inches x 4 inches, 7 inches x 7 inches, 9 inches x 9 inches, and 10 inches x 12 inches (10.2 cm x 10.2 cm, 17.78 cm x 17.78 cm, 22.8 cm x 22.8 cm and 25.4 cm x 30.48 cm). You should use the size pad that most completely covers your dressing without allowing the adhesive to come in contact with the dressing. Shower Shield should always be used over a dressing; it should never come into contact with the wound itself.

Directions for Use
- Clean and dry area surrounding wound or device thoroughly.
- Make sure area to be covered has an appropriate dressing. Shower Shield should not be allowed to come in direct contact with the wound.
- Clip any excess hair at the site and make sure it is free of oil and moisturizers. Shaving is not recommended, but always follow your physician’s advice.
- Open the poly bag and select the appropriate size for your wound dressing. Choose a Shower Shield bandage that is large enough to adhere to skin only – not to your wound, device or the primary dressing.
- Peel the wax paper frame only from the top edge of the water barrier, exposing the adhesive surface but retaining the wax paper on the bottom half of the barrier.
- Position water barrier over the site, about an inch above the dressing, and press down firmly. Gently remove the bottom half of the wax paper frame, smoothing the barrier down as you pull the frame away, pressing edges down firmly to adhere to skin.
- Firmly smooth water barrier from the center toward the edges.
- Repeat pressure on all sides of adhesive as a final securing step.
- If you fail to get a good seal, remove the clear barrier, discard it and try again with another Shower Shield.
Removal:
- Gently grasp an edge and slowly peel the Shower Shield wound cover from the skin in the direction of hair growth – or grasp one edge of the water barrier and gently pull it straight out to stretch and release adhesion – being careful not to disturb the primary dressing or device.
- Discard after use. These shower shields for wounds are single use only.
Cautions:
- For external use only.
- Non-sterile: Do not use if package is open or damaged.
- Shower Shield Water Barrier Wound Cover is not designed to come in direct contact with the wound itself. Make sure the area to be protected is covered with an appropriate sterile dressing before applying this wound care shower protector.
- The manufacturer recommends taking a cool or warm shower with the Shower Shield. Refrain from taking a hot shower.
- Do not place over nose or mouth.
