Abstract :-The present paper relates to the medical and surgical device that occludes piercing site or insertion site around implant device and prevents infection and leakage. The principle object of the present invention is to provide a mechanical barrier comprising the top layer, the outer layer and the bottom layer wherein the outer layer of said device is connected to the top layer and the bottom layer as the supporting structure, wherein top layer comprises the inlet orifice for the entry of the external fixation pin wherein the outer layer comprises the grip formation region, supporting web structure and the radially extending region. The inlet orifice allows the external fixation pin to enter into the mechanical barrier. The radially extending region of the outer layer is connected with the supporting web structure and the bottom layer, which will constitute to the strength and stability of the mechanical barrier. The bottom layer of the mechanical barrier comprises the outlet orifice, gel cavity layer, wound contact layer and the protective layer wherein the composite gel housing is located at the bottom of the device wherein outlet orifice is located inside the composite gel cavity region.
