Product Overview
Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Spray 28ml is a fast-drying, alcohol-free barrier spray that forms a transparent protective film on skin to help prevent irritation from moisture, friction, bodily fluids and adhesives. Ideal for sensitive or at-risk skin.
Description
Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Spray 28ml is a clear, alcohol-free liquid barrier spray that dries rapidly to form a thin, breathable, transparent film on the skin. It is designed to protect both intact and compromised skin from irritation caused by moisture, bodily fluids (such as urine and faeces), friction and adhesive trauma.
The unique no-sting, non-cytotoxic formula makes this product suitable for sensitive or broken skin, including skin at risk of moisture-associated damage, incontinence-associated dermatitis and other irritant exposures. It is widely used on adults, elderly people and, when appropriate, infants over one month old, in both clinical and home care contexts.
Key Benefits
• Alcohol-free, fast-drying protective barrier with a non-sting formulation for sensitive skin.
• Helps reduce skin breakdown from friction, moisture, adhesives and bodily fluids.
• Transparent and breathable film that does not interfere with skin monitoring.
• Provides up to 72 hours of skin protection, depending on cleansing and exposure.
How to Use
Follow the product leaflet and professional advice.
- Clean and dry the skin thoroughly before application to ensure optimal adhesion of the barrier film.
- Hold the spray 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) from the skin.
- Apply a smooth, even coat over the entire area using sweeping motions; allow the product to dry for about 30 seconds.
- If covering the skin with adhesive dressings, tapes or devices, ensure the film has completely dried before application to maintain adhesion.
- Reapply every 24–72 hours or more often if the skin is cleansed or if protection is reduced.
- When used as a barrier against bodily fluids without dressings, apply as needed based on cleansing frequency.
Ingredients
Typical components that support film formation and barrier protection include:
• Hexamethyldisiloxane – volatile carrier that helps spread the film.
• Isooctane – solvent aiding quick-drying.
• Acrylate Terpolymer – film-forming agent.
• Polyphenylmethylsiloxane – silicone polymer that creates the protective barrier.
Always refer to the product packaging or official leaflet for the full and most current ingredient list.
Side Effects & Warnings
Side Effects
Most users tolerate Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Spray well. Rarely, mild local reactions such as temporary redness, itching or irritation may occur on highly sensitive skin.
If irritation persists or worsens after discontinuation, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Warnings & Precautions
• For external use only. Do not spray into eyes, mouth or open wounds.
• Avoid flammable sources while the product is in liquid form and until it’s fully dried.
• Allow the film to dry completely before applying clothing or adhesive products to prevent lifting or compromised protection.
• Not recommended as the sole covering for bacterial protection on serious wounds or IV sites.
• Avoid concurrent use with other barrier creams or lotions at the same site, as this may reduce effectiveness.
• Do not use on infected skin (e.g., fungal infections) without medical advice.
