Vital support for skin at risk. Whether managing chronic wounds, incontinence or both, protecting fragile skin may improve outcomes, dressing performance, patient comfort and sense of well being. Skin protection may speed wound healing and reduce dressing change time and discomfort by maintaining a healthy dry interface resistant to adhesives, moisture, friction and shear. Medical Skin Protection goes beyond the wound bed to insure skin surrounding the wound maintains its best possible condition while providing an environment conducive to repair of previously damaged areas. Medical Skin Protection helps maintain the progress you have made towards improving wound and incontinence management and removes barriers to skin and wound healing.
Understanding threats to the skin s integrity. The skin is the body s largest organ. Skin regulates temperature, provides sensation, regulates transdermal water loss and provides the barrier between us and the many threats in the external environment. To help maintain healthy function skin requires protection from exudate, incontinence, friction and shear that can break down its natural protective ability. Elderly patients are especially susceptible to external skin stressors including skin stripping from adhesive dressing removal as elderly skin may lose cohesion and become increasingly dry and fragile. Intact peri-wound skin Risk factors impacting skin at risk: External wound exudate Internal urinary or fecal incontinence removal of adhesive dressings friction and shear digestive fluids (ostomy) age nutrition status hydration status ambulatory status systemic disease (diabetes, vascular disease) Maceration when the skin s barrier function fails. Over hydration can lead to maceration of the skin including periwound skin and wound margins that can lead to the development or enlargement of wounds. Maceration reduces the skin s ability to resist damage from friction, shear, adhesive dressing removal or continuing damage from incontinence or exudate. Macerated wound margins
Medical skin protection NEW PROTECT spray and foam applicator: Re-establishing the barrier function of the skin. All phases of the healing process can benefit from the skin protection provided by PROTECT. It provides a long lasting protective barrier film that shields at risk skin from external factors working against skin and wound healing wherever they may be present. From mechanical stressors such as friction, shear and dressing removal to chemical factors such as exudate and incontinence, skin remains protected and free from irritants. Protects wound margins and peri-wound skin from external factors including wound exudate, incontinence, friction, shear and adhesive removal Preserves and maintains intact skin provides a protective breathable film cover to prevent further damage and encourage healing Prevents maceration and peri-wound skin breakdown by providing up to 96 hours of moisture barrier action Promotes dressing adhesion and pain free dressing removal PROTECT provides an efficient foundation for adhesives and a protective interface to shield skin and nerves during adhesive dressing or tape removal PROTECT foam applicator Available in both 1 and 3 ml sizes, PROTECT foam applicators allow clean and precise application of the film to wound margins and peri-wound skin. PROTECT reduces the risk of maceration and isolates the skin from the trauma of adhesive dressing removal, friction and shear. PROTECT spray PROTECT spray applicator speeds application to larger areas requiring protection from external stressors. The spray applicator assures pain-free no touch delivery to sensitive areas and the efficient application of protection in a cost and time effective manner. Used for: Protection of intact or stressed skin at risk from exudate incontinence friction and shear adhesive dressing removal digestive enzymes (ostomy) maceration Properties: When applied to the skin fast drying PROTECT forms a colorless, transparent, long lasting barrier film. PROTECT is permeable to water vapor and impermeable to liquid water, exudate or incontinence. The no sting PROTECT formula is non-irritating, and alcohol free.
