3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film 3346, 28ml bottle

This product is a liquid skin protectant designed to create a barrier on the skin's surface. It is formulated to shield the skin from damage caused by bodily fluids, friction, and the application and removal of medical adhesives. The formulation is alcohol-free, which is intended to prevent stinging or discomfort when applied to intact or compromised skin.

It is also hypoallergenic, indicating it is designed to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. The product dries quickly to form a transparent, breathable film that adheres to the skin. This film is designed to remain in place for an extended period, offering protection for up to 72 hours.

The formulation is compatible with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and is resistant to water once dry, allowing for continued protection during patient care activities. The film is also non-cytotoxic, meaning it does not harm living cells, making it suitable for use on a variety of skin types and conditions. Its flexibility allows it to move with the skin, maintaining its protective integrity even in areas with natural creases or frequent movement.

The transparency of the dried film facilitates visual assessment of the underlying skin without requiring removal. This product is intended for use by healthcare professionals and caregivers in various medical settings, as well as for patient use in home care environments. It is applied by gently wiping or spraying the liquid onto the skin, allowing it to dry completely before applying any dressings or adhesives.

The product is supplied in a 28ml bottle. It is important to ensure the packaging is intact before use and to store the product in a cool, dry location away from children. This product is not intended for resterilization.
