Skin and Wound Care
 |
|
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and is also one of the most important. It serves many vital functions, including protection of the body from external substances such as bacteria, water, bodily fluids and chemicals. When the skin is damaged due to physical injury or disease, its ability to protect against these is severely compromised. Maintenance of the skin’s natural barrier function is therefore crucial. 3M™ Cavilon™ Skin Care Products help to care for your skin, and protect against bodily fluids and other contaminants. |

Severely dry skin can be treated with 3M™ Cavilon™ Durable Barrier Cream. Its highly concentrated nature and unique formulation means it provides long-lasting protection, and only needs re-applying every other day. It also creates a barrier against fluids or washing, which may further dry out the skin. |

Chronic wounds, for example leg ulcers or pressure sores, can be difficult enough to heal, without the additional complication of skin breakdown around the wound. 3M™ Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film protects the skin directly around a wound from becoming water-logged and susceptible to further breakdown. The barrier film also protects against skin breakdown caused by friction, i.e. the constant rubbing of material/dressings against skin. |
