Preventing Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD)
Incontinence is a significant risk factor for skin breakdown1, such as pressure ulcers and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). Meanwhile, applying a barrier after each episode can help prevent these conditions. One comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention program—including a uniquely delivered skin protectant for incontinence care—reduced the incidence of sacral/buttock pressure ulcers by 89%.2 This education section will help you bolster your prevention program with evidence-based incontinence care.

These unique tools will help you assess current clinical practice, educate staff, customize and implement an evidence-based protocol, complete a performance improvement plan, and track progress, from pressure ulcer rates to staff compliance to costs.
