Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film is a polymeric solution which forms a uniform film when applied to the skin. The product is dispersed in a unique non cytotoxic, non stinging solvent, which dries rapidly. Patients with infected wounds or venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and associated edema are especially at risk for periwound skin damage. The excessive hydration of periwound skin compromises the barrier function, making the epidermis more vulnerable to MARSI, friction and shear. Including 3M™ Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film in the wound care process helps protect periwound skin from maceration. Skin should be clean and dry prior to application of Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film. Foam applicator or wipe: apply a uniform coating of film over entire area of concern. Spray; Hold nozzle four to six inches from skin and apply a smooth, uniform coating of filmover entire area of concern, while moving spray in a sweeping motion. If an area is missed, re apply to that area only after first application of Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film has dried (approximately 30 seconds). A prevalent but under-recognized complication, MARSI can cause pain, increase the risk of infection and delay healing, all of which can reduce a patient’s quality of life⁵. One study found that 55 treatments for MARSI will be needed for every 100 patients who receive a medical tape application⁶. By using 3M™ Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film, you can help protect patient skin from possible adhesive damage. Clinically-Proven – Supported by more clinical evidence than any other moisture barrier or barrier film, 70+ clinical studies

How often do I need to re-apply Cavilon no sting barrier film? The protective film can last up to 72 hours¹, but re-application is required after each stoma pouch/adhesive dressing change.Unlike moisture barrier products that cannot reliably attach to underlying skin, 3M’s polymer-cyanoacrylate enables attachment to wet, weepy, damaged skin.¹Once on the skin, 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant creates an environment that repels irritants and supports patient healing and comfort.

(2004) A comparative study of the skin protectant performance of five barrier films. 3M GermanyThese wipes may seem a little pricey, but they're well worth it, to save fragile skin from irritation which can cause pain and possibly lead to skin break-down and even infection. Cavilon Barrier Spray is a polymeric solution which forms a uniform film when applied to the skin. The product is dispersed in a unique non cytotoxic, non stinging solvent, which dries rapidly. Cavilon Barrier Spray helps protect intact or damaged skin from irritation caused by urine and/ or fecal incontinence, digestive juices, wound drainage, adhesives and friction. The film is colourless, transparent and possesses good oxygen and moisture vapor permeability. Before using any product sample, you must evaluate it and determine if it is suitable for your intended application – seek advice from a medical professional. that this information may be stored on a server located in the U.S. If you do not consent to this use

The film is colorless, transparent, and Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film is an alcohol-free moisture barrier. It contains unique ingredients called polymers that form a waterproof, protective coating on the skin. It is breathable and transparent allowing for continuous visualisation and monitoring of skin. It is flexible and conforms to the skin during movement or position changes. The products unique 3M formulation contains a blend of not one but two polymers, including a Terpolymer and a Homopolymer (plasticiser). The Terpolymer is derived from three distinct monomers, that provides a protective coating on the skin, creating a highly effective barrier. The Homopolymer enhances the films ability to flex with the skin and helps to maintain a continuous, protective coating. Other barrier films contain only one polymer and some utilise alcohol as a solvent.
