Protecting skin integrity

You face the challenge of preserving your patients' skin health amidst conditions that could compromise it. Your dedication to maintaining and restoring skin integrity involves focusing on the prevention and treatment of common conditions.  

41% of nursing home residents and 35% of all patients in acute care settings are affected by incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), one of the most challenging types of MASD1,2.

Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) is caused by prolonged exposure to moisture. 

One in seven patients (a 13% median rate) in the acute care setting is affected by MARSI3.

Medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) refers to damage to the skin due to improper selection,
application or removal of medical adhesives.

4X increased chance for patients with IAD to experience a facility acquired sacral PI than patients without IAD4.

Pressure injuries (PI) arise from mechanical forces such as pressure, friction and shear, with moisture further increasing the risk of their development.
