Description
Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant offers a highly durable, long-lasting barrier designed to manage incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) by preventing skin damage from body fluids and reducing the pain associated with IAD care, though it is not an analgesic. This skin protectant forms a flexible, elastomeric polymer coating that attaches to damaged, wet, and weepy skin, providing up to 7 days of protection with applications 1-3 times per week. It is breathable, allowing moisture-vapor transmission, and does not require removal for skin assessment. The product is easy to use with a single-use applicator and the 2.7ml covers 100 sq. inches, ideal for small areas like around ostomies or wounds. The solvent is alcohol-free and sting-free, offering patient comfort and ease of use for healthcare providers.
Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant features a unique polymer-cyanoacrylate system that provides superior protection against irritants such as liquid stool and gastric fluid. The product dries in approximately 30 seconds and is compatible with 3M medical dressings and negative pressure drapes. By forming a durable, transparent barrier, it helps to prevent skin fracturing and cracking while supporting healing. This innovative skin protectant reduces the need for frequent reapplication, minimizing cross-contamination and improving patient outcomes in clinical settings. Ideal for areas exposed to moisture, friction, or shear, Cavilon is designed to offer effective skin management, making it a valuable addition to any healthcare facility.
