What is it? Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant utilises revolutionary polymer-cyanoacrylate technology to create a highly durable, ultra-thin barrier that protects damaged or intact skin from caustic, corrosive body fluids such as liquid stool, gastric fluid and wound exudate. How does it work? Its unique elastomeric polymer forms a highly durable coating with the ability to elongate and conform with skin movement.1 This avoids the cracking that can be common with other moisture barriers.1 Unlike moisture barrier products that cannot reliably attach to underlying skin, 3M’s polymer-cyanoacrylate enables attachment to wet, weepy, damaged skin.2 The singleuse applicator reduces the potential for cross-contamination – plus, Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant doesn’t require removal. When do I use it? Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant can help protect against these types of healthcare-acquired skin damage: • Incontinence-associated dermatitis • Peristomal/perifistula skin damage • Pressure injury (PI) • Periwound skin damage
