Cavilon™ is an ultra-thin and durable liquid barrier film, provided in single-use applicators. The product forms a breathable, transparent, long-lasting coating that protects the surrounding skin from the damaging effects of bodily fluids and friction, helping to prevent maceration and trauma.

Clinical Advantages

The liquid formulation with single-use applicator reduces the risk of cross-contamination and can relieve pain associated with incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). The film is alcohol-free, hypoallergenic, and non-irritating, making it suitable for use on both intact and damaged skin. It can be applied beneath adhesive tapes and dressings without compromising adhesion.

Intended Use and Application Contexts

The Cavilon™ barrier film is intended for the protection of vulnerable skin in hospital, long-term care, outpatient, and home care settings. Typical uses include protection around stomas, perilesional skin, under adhesive dressings and tapes, and in incontinence care to reduce the risk of IAD and skin maceration.

Why Choose This Product

The main strengths are the waterproof ultra-thin breathable coating, the single-use applicator design that limits the risk of cross-contamination, and compatibility with dressings and adhesive tapes. As a CE-marked medical device (Class IIa) manufactured by 3M, it is part of a broad family of barrier products validated for clinical use.
