3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant allows you to manage damaged skin or protect at-risk skin. The 3m Cavilon advanced skin protectant forms a transparent shield over your skin, creating a barrier against moisture, friction, and irritants. It's your ally against chafing, rashes, and redness, allowing you to carry on with your day without a second thought about skin discomfort. The 3m Skin Protectant is a polymeric-cyanoacrylate solution intended for the protection of intact or damaged skin. Upon application to the skin, the liquid dries rapidly to form a primary long-lasting waterproof, highly durable film barrier. It is elastomeric, adhering to the contours of the skin and providing a uniform film. This cavilon advanced helps in reducing IAD (Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis) under urinary and fecal incontinence. The film adheres to dry, moist, or wet skin surfaces and remains intact during conditions of continuous or repeated exposure to moisture or caustic irritants. It will wear off the skin and does not require removal. Due to its ability to attach /adhere to wet, weeping (denuded), and/or dry skin and its exceptional barrier properties, the product does a superior job of protecting skin from irritants.

What makes 3m Cavilon different from traditional skin protectants?

• A Unique elastomeric Polymer
  A distinctive elastomeric polymer from 3M creates a flexible coating that can stretch and conform, preventing the typical cracking seen in other moisture barriers. This guarantees enhanced skin barrier strength and longevity, providing exceptional protection against troublesome irritants like liquid stool and gastric fluids.
• Innovative polymer-cyanoacrylate system
  Unlike traditional moisture barrier products that struggle to adhere to damp, weeping, or damaged skin, 3M's polymer-cyanoacrylate system allows for reliable attachment. Once applied, 3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant establishes a protective environment on the skin's surface, effectively repelling irritants and promoting patient healing and comfort.
• Gentle and painless solvent
  The polymer-cyanoacrylate system is applied to the skin using a non-irritating solvent through a disposable applicator, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. Moreover, the 3m Cavilon advanced skin protectant eliminates the need for removal, simplifying the experience for both patients and healthcare providers.
