Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Film Foam Applicator - 3ml - Pack of 5

Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Film Foam Applicator – 3ml Pack of 5 delivers gentle yet effective barrier protection for skin that is intact, delicate, damaged or at risk from typical irritants. Each sterile, alcohol-free foam applicator dispenses a transparent, breathable film-forming solution designed to protect skin from moisture-associated skin damage (MASD), friction and shear, bodily fluids (e.g., urine, faeces) and irreversible trauma caused by medical adhesives, tapes and dressings.

Unlike alcohol-based products that may sting on contact, this no-sting formula is suitable even for compromised or broken skin and helps maintain comfort during frequent care routines. The water-resistant, non-petrolatum base does not clog incontinence pads or dressings and allows clinicians and carers to apply dressings without reducing adhesion.

Key benefits:

• Alcohol-free and no-sting formulation for sensitive or compromised skin.

• Forms a transparent, breathable protective film that resists moisture and reduces skin breakdown.

• Each 3ml foam applicator provides coverage for targeted skin areas and is single use for hygiene.

• Can help protect skin for up to 72 hours between reapplications depending on cleansing and exposure.

• Does not interfere with the natural healing process and is non-cytotoxic.

Follow the pharmacy leaflet and professional guidance before use.

1. Ensure the skin is clean and thoroughly dry before application — this helps the barrier film form effectively.
2. Open a single 3ml foam applicator and apply the film-forming solution evenly across the entire area of concern.
3. Allow the barrier film to dry completely (about 30 seconds) before covering with dressings, adhesive tapes or clothing.
4. If used to protect against bodily fluids, reapply the foam at intervals based on cleansing frequency (typically every 24–72 hours).
5. For application in skin folds or crop areas, separate the skin until the film dries to ensure even coverage.

Note: Barrier film is removed over time with cleansing or adhesive change; regular reapplication ensures ongoing protection.

Active/Functional components:

• Hexamethyldisiloxane – rapid-drying carrier solvent.

• Isooctane – solvent that supports film formation.

• Acrylate Terpolymer – film-forming polymer that creates a durable protective layer.

• Polyphenylmethylsiloxane – silicone-based component contributing to breathability and flexibility of the protective film.

Always verify the full ingredient list on the packaging or enclosed leaflet for potential allergens or formulation updates.

Side Effects

Most individuals tolerate Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Film Foam very well. On rare occasions mild skin reactions such as temporary redness, itching or local irritation may occur, especially in very sensitive individuals. If adverse reactions persist or worsen, discontinue use and seek advice from a pharmacist or clinician.

Warnings & Precautions

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.

• Flammable in liquid form — use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from flames or sources of ignition.

• Allow the protective film to dry fully before applying dressings, tapes or clothing to prevent compromised adhesion.

• Do not use on infected skin or deep open wounds unless advised by a clinician.

• Using multiple barrier products at the same site may reduce effectiveness; consult a professional for combined skincare regimens.

• Store out of reach of children and do not use past the expiry date.
