At Mountainside Medical, we know how important it is to protect your skin from incontinence and the effects of not using a quality skin barrier cream or ointment. This can be a costly and painful step that often gets overlooked.
We also sell a variety of wound care dressings used to treat wound sores that can develop among those who wear diapers or briefs. The acids form urine and feces can quickly eat away the skins mantle (sometimes in less than an hour) and redness starts to form. This usually marks the beginning stages of skin breakdown.
A little prevention goes a long way! At Mountainside we only carry the top, clinically proven skin creams and barrier ointments used to effectively treat and help reverse incontinent skin damage.
For an incontinent patient, excessive moisture comes from several sources, including urine, liquid stool, and perspiration (when using a diaper or brief). The risk of skin damage can vary based on the volume and frequency of incontinence, as well as by how effective the diaper proves to be at keeping waste material away from the perineal area (between the legs).
Prolonged exposure to moisture causes saturation and skin maceration. The skin then loses its natural protection abilities, or barrier properties, and can no longer shield out urine and feces. Perineal dermatitis (inflamed skin) may result if irritating moisture is allowed to be in contact with the skin. Protect your skin with any one of these great moisture barrier products.
