3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant: Enhance Patient Care with Proven Skin Protection

As a healthcare professional, you understand the importance of providing advanced solutions to protect patients' skin, especially for those at risk of skin damage due to moisture, friction, or other factors. Cavilon Advanced skin protectant is designed to offer superior protection and healing support in these challenging cases.


What is Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant?

Cavilon Advanced skin protectant is a breakthrough polymer-based formula specifically developed to shield patients’ skin from the harmful effects of moisture and friction. It forms a durable yet breathable barrier on compromised or at-risk skin, protecting against further damage while allowing the skin to heal.

This advanced protectant is ideal for managing patients with severe skin conditions, such as those caused by:

  • Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD)
  • Peristomal Skin Complications
  • Pressure Injuries (Stage 1 and Stage 2)
  • Skin Tears
  • Other conditions related to prolonged exposure to moisture or friction

Why Choose Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant?

  1. Superior Barrier Protection

Cavilon Advanced skin protectant offers long-lasting protection, even in moist conditions. It resists wash-off and stays in place for up to 7 days, minimizing the need for frequent reapplication, which can improve clinical efficiency and patient comfort.

  1. Effective on Compromised Skin

Designed for fragile, compromised, or damaged skin, this product creates a strong, flexible barrier without causing irritation. Its advanced formula allows for application on areas already affected by moisture-related skin breakdown, providing an environment conducive to healing while preventing further deterioration.

  1. Clinically Proven Outcomes

Backed by clinical evidence, Cavilon Advanced skin protectant has been proven to reduce the severity of skin injuries, promote faster healing, and decrease the risk of infection. It is an essential tool in managing IAD, pressure ulcers, and other dermatological conditions.

  1. Easy to Apply

The applicator is designed for simple, precise application, ensuring that a consistent and protective layer is placed on the skin. This user-friendly design minimizes waste and promotes accurate dosing, supporting cost-effective care.


Key Benefits for Your Patients

  • Durable protection for at-risk skin, even in the presence of moisture
  • Supports faster healing of compromised skin
  • Minimizes the risk of infection and complications related to skin breakdown
  • Comfortable for patients with fragile or sensitive skin

Clinical Applications

The Cavilon Advanced skin protectant is a versatile product suitable for use in various clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, and home care environments. It is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with:

  • Incontinence-related skin damage
  • Chronic wounds
  • Post-surgical sites
  • Pressure ulcers in at-risk areas

How to Use and Apply Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant

  1. Clean the skin thoroughly using a gentle cleanser or purified water, and pat dry if needed.
  2. Hold the applicator with your thumb on the lever, then point the sponge down and press the lever to break the internal ampule. You’ll hear a pop or snap, signaling it’s ready. Keep the applicator facing downward for 10 seconds, allowing the liquid to flow into the foam sponge without oversaturating it.
  3. Gently sweep the foam sponge across the affected area and surrounding skin in even motions. Avoid using extra pressure to prevent pooling. Ensure you cover all areas exposed to stool or urine.
  4. Let the product dry for at least 30 seconds. If you miss a spot, wait until it fully dries before applying more. For areas where skin touches skin, separate the surfaces for 30 seconds to allow drying.
  5. Wait an additional 60 seconds for complete drying before applying dressings or tape. The protective layer naturally wears off, but if removal is necessary, use an adhesive remover containing hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) or silicone polymer.

How Should the Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant be Storaged?

For optimal performance, keep the product in a cool, dry place and away from high temperatures. Check the expiration date on the packaging for its shelf life. Follow your facility's guidelines for proper disposal.
