3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant, Cyanoacrylate
A cyanoacrylate based skin protectant forming a thin, durable barrier on wet or weepy skin, used to help manage moisture associated skin damage.
Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant is a cyanoacrylate based product used in wound care and skin management to help prevent and manage moderate to severe moisture associated skin damage, often referred to as MASD. The description notes that it forms an ultra thin yet highly durable polymer barrier that adheres to wet, weepy skin and repels irritants, supporting the skin's own healing process while providing a waterproof layer of protection.
Nurses and wound care specialists apply this protectant to areas of skin exposed to ongoing moisture, such as around stomas, wounds with heavy exudate, or skin folds prone to incontinence associated damage, where a standard barrier cream might not adhere well or last long enough. Because it is designed to bond even to compromised, moist skin, it offers an option where more traditional protectants struggle to remain in place.
This product is used across hospital wards, wound care clinics and long term care settings wherever staff are managing patients at risk of or already experiencing moisture related skin breakdown, and facilities keep it stocked as part of their skin integrity care supplies.
