Additional Information
Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream protects intact or at 'at-risk' skin against bodily fluids such as urine and faeces, and is ideal to prevent skin breakdown in incontinent patients. It is also an effective moisturiser for severely dry skin. It can be used in conjunction with moisture retentive adhesive dressings that promote healing, such as transparent film and hydrocolloids.
