Cavilon™ Durable Barrier Cream vs Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream
Click each of the tabs below to see how Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream performs against Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream on these key considerations:
- Always check the required re-application frequency of the barrier cream you are using
- 3M™ Cavilon™ Durable Barrier Cream is durable and resists wash-off so only needs to be applied ‘night and day’
- Some barrier creams are readily washed from the skin and need to be re-applied after every episode of incontinence
- Skin that is not protected is at risk of damage and breakdown – incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD)
- Remember – wet skin is weak skin
- Repeated re-application of barrier creams can impact cost-effectiveness
