Are buffers ( CMOS 4050 etc) any use to protect the stamp''s outputs???

Hey
I'm not sure my self if this will work or not so I thought I'd ask
you guys [noparse]:D[/noparse]. I wanted to protect my stamp outputs from gettin
damaged by sourcing and sinking too much current so I looked around
and found the cmos 4050 chip non inverting hex buffer. I was
wondering if it will protect my stamp from sourcing and sinking a
lot of current. What I plan to do is to use it as a intermediate
between my stamp and my output device so as to protect the stamp.
Would this be a benifitial setup to have and is this the use the
chip was developed for? Furthermore will it protect my stamp from
damage in the instance that a large base current was drawn by a
transistor or similar instance? Any light you guys can shed on the
subject would be helpful.
Many thanks
