Indications for Use
- As a barrier against irritation from bodily fluids
- Prevention of skin damage associated with incontinence
- As a moisturiser for severely dry or chapped skin
Features & Benefits
- Highly concentrated so a little goes a long way (Apply in pea-sized amounts only)
- Proven to reduce incontinence dermatitis and associated with a significant decrease in grade I pressure ulcers, when used as part of a sacral skin care protocol
- Non–petrolatum based so will not clog or reduce the absorbency of incontinence pad linings
- Resists wash-off – no need for frequent reapplication, saving time
- Does not decrease tape or dressing adhesion – allows tapes to stick
- Hypoallergenic and pH balanced
Precautions
- Apply sparingly. If the after-feel is oily, you have applied too much
- Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream may increase the adherence of some adhesive products. Persons with fragile skin should avoid using the cream under all adhesive products

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.
