3M Cavilon Skin Care & Barrier Protection

For patients dealing with incontinence, stoma leakage, adhesive trauma, or the constant friction of prolonged bed rest, skin breakdown isn't a minor concern — it's the start of painful, hard-to-heal wounds. The 3M Cavilon line was built to get ahead of that problem, giving caregivers and clinicians a range of barrier films, protective creams, and moisturizers that shield vulnerable skin without interfering with adhesion or absorption.

The heart of the range is barrier protection. The Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant (5050 ampule) and matching Skin Barrier Applicators (5051) form a durable, transparent film that stays put even on moist, denuded skin around a stoma or in intertriginous areas where ordinary creams fail. Both are sterile, unscented, and latex-free. For everyday incontinence-associated dermatitis, the Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream in convenient 2-gram single-use packets (3353) delivers long-lasting protection and — importantly for pre-surgical and line-care settings — it's CHG compatible, so it won't neutralize chlorhexidine antiseptics.

A common question is whether these products treat fungal skin issues too. They do: the Cavilon 2% Miconazole Nitrate Antifungal Cream (3389/3390) targets the yeast infections that so often accompany moisture-damaged skin folds, available in 2- and 5-ounce tubes and by the case for facilities. For dry, cracked hands and body skin, the scented Cavilon Extra Dry Hand and Body Moisturizer (3386) rounds out a complete skin-integrity protocol.

Whether you're stocking a nursing station or caring for a loved one at home, buying by the case keeps per-unit costs down. Explore more from the broader 3M family, including 3M Avagard hand antisepsis and 3M Ace Moisture Control.
