If your baby's skin becomes inflamed during splintage, Medihoney Barrier Cream will help restore the skin's barrier properties, moisture and pH levels. Inflammation is usually caused by the softening and break down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture.
This is more likely if:
- Your baby has sensitive/dry skin
- You live in a warm or humid country, or one with hot summers
- Your baby is older, and/or has more active sweat glands
- Your baby splashes at bath-time, or possets
What is the difference?
Medihoney is a barrier cream which helps to maintain the skin's barrier properties. It is specially formulated with a range of natural ingredients and is used to soothe and settle at-risk or irritated skin. The adhesive tapes cannot be applied on top of Medihoney cream.
Cavilon Barrier Film is used to prevent skin inflammation beneath the EarBuddies splint, behind the ear and beneath the adhesive tapes. The adhesive tapes can be applied on top of this film, once it has dried.
The Premium Pack comes with Cavilon, but does not include Medihoney Barrier Cream.
Instructions
If you notice that the skin under the EarBuddies splint, behind the ear, or beneath the adhesive tapes becomes irritated, remove the tapes, gently clean and dry the area, and apply Medihoney to soothe the skin. A little goes a long way, so use a pea-sized amount. Leave Medihoney on the skin with the tapes off for as long as it takes for the skin to settle (reapply Medihoney after bathing). Once the skin has settled, ensure the area is clean and dry before continuing with splintage. You may wish to apply Cavilon Barrier Film to the area at this point to protect against any future inflammation. Please note that if the area is not clean and dry, a layer of residual Medihoney will prevent Cavilon from sticking as well as it otherwise would, even when it appears that the Medihoney has been absorbed by the skin. Please also note that the adhesive tapes will not stick directly on top of Medihoney.
Precautions
When using for the first time, patch test on a small area of skin. If irritation occurs discontinue use.
