Anyone use the 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film spray

Just wondering how anybody that uses this finds it ??

It has been almost 2 years since my Ileostomy surgery and the skin at the bottom of my stoma has never healed. Waste always seems to get under the paste and adapt rings at that spot so it has never healed since day one. I have always used convex wafers because thats what I was told but the last two times I have been using non-convex hollister wafers and I finally seem to be healing there.

I have originally used the wipes but they sting and wipe off part of the stoma powder that I had just applied.

This spray is supposed to be no sting and seems like the way to go if other people have had good results. Also seeing as how it is a spray, can it affect the stoma at all if i get some on it ??

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Darryl

Hi,

Barrier spray won't hurt your stoma.

I used the Smith and Nephew barrier spray but found a link showing a clinical
test on Cavilon and they say, (marketing who knows) that Cavilon proved twice as effective as Smith and Nephew and the other competitors as well as less sting and more cohesion.

So, I can't give you my comparison between Smith and Nephew vs Cavilon spray because I am literally, a few hours into just trying my first Cavilon spray with appliance etc.


This is the link that comes up when I google Cavion Spray clinical tests. It comes up PDF on my tablet. I can't get the other site address to link for some reason.

Ironically I have just tried Cavlon Spray about 3 hours ago changing my appliance. Having a few more problems due to double lumen (loop ileo) and now that I'm healing more, it's 2 mos old, the 2nd lumen is becoming more flush to the skin so I'm running into problems like you've mentioned.

A few days ago, I tried duoderm extra thin. Cut a piece and rimmed it to my stoma at the trouble area. No liquid penetrated.

I even put Brava Powder and Spray on before duoderm. Tons of links of forum people using duoderm for trouble ileos for extra protection if you google.

I got the idea from this link. I'm getting more tomorrow to try again to see if I can prevent any leak under eakin seal at the lumen that is flush. And stretch my wear time from 1-2 days, to 3 at least.

Pictures here are great.

I use brava powder, spray, trying duoderm again tomorrow on my trouble spot like in this pic and then cover with eakin seal. I use conva tec 2 piece appliance. Started with Hollister and switched. Tried tons of samples though.

Duoderm is for wound healing. Duoderm extra thin(reg duoderm CGF is pretty thick, I have one and it's too thick for me for this. ) is like a second healing skin with healing properties and again, link above shows how she applied it. As said, I was googling what people were using on top of trying the adapt, coloplast, eakin seal and such, and that is what came up. Seemed to work the first time I tried it. I'll know again in a couple days if the 2nd change and application using it worked.

Good luck. xoxxo
