Description
Cavilon Barrier Film Wand Applicator | 3mL
3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film is an alcohol-free moisture barrier. It contains unique ingredients called polymers that form a waterproof, protective coating on the skin to prevent damage and irritation to the skin barrier. It is breathable and transparent allowing for continuous visualisation and monitoring of skin and to prevent maceration when used in woundcare. It is flexible and conforms to the skin during movement or position changes and doesn't crack.
The product's unique 3M formulation contains a blend of not one but two polymers, including a Terpolymer and a Homopolymer (plasticiser) to provide flexibility and protection. The Terpolymer is derived from three distinct monomers, that provides a protective coating on the skin, creating a highly effective barrier. The Homopolymer enhances the films ability to flex with the skin and helps to maintain a continuous, protective coating. Other barrier films contain only one polymer and some utilise alcohol as a solvent which can dry and irritate skin, sometimes making the problem worse.
