3m Cavilion Film Spray 28ml (T)

Description

3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml is a gentle, no-sting barrier film designed to protect fragile, at-risk skin from moisture, friction and repeated adhesive use. This convenient spray forms a thin, breathable coating on the skin that helps shield against urine, faeces, wound exudate and other body fluids while still allowing the skin to be observed. The alcohol-free formulation means 3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml can be used even on sensitive, damaged or recently cleansed skin without causing stinging or extra discomfort.

Because it dries quickly and does not need to be removed between applications, 3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml makes daily skin protection simple for both patients and caregivers. Once applied, it provides long-lasting protection that stands up to washing and normal movement, helping to keep vulnerable skin more comfortable and resilient. This makes it especially useful in hospitals, nursing homes and home care settings where the skin may be exposed to moisture, medical devices or frequent dressing changes.

What is 3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml used for?

3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml is commonly used as part of skin care for people who are incontinent, bedbound or otherwise at higher risk of moisture-associated skin damage. It helps protect areas exposed to urine or faeces, including the perineal area and buttocks, and can be used around stoma sites in ostomy care. The barrier film also helps protect skin from medical adhesive related skin injury (MARSI) when tapes, dressings or monitoring leads need to be applied and removed regularly.

The spray format makes it easy to apply a thin, even layer over larger or awkward areas such as the sacral region, skin folds or areas under medical devices. 3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml can also be used around wounds (but not directly into open wounds) to protect the surrounding intact skin from maceration and irritation while you use appropriate dressings on the wound itself.

Key benefits of 3M Cavilon Film Spray 28ml

• No-sting, alcohol-free formula – suitable for use on intact, irritated or lightly broken skin without causing additional pain.
