Skin Check: Promoting daily skin inspection
Bathing provides one of the best opportunities to monitor skin condition. Our Skin Check guide on every Comfort Bath
® product empowers staff to observe and communicate potential pressure ulcer risk factors to the patient's RN. The convenient peel-and-stick labels allow caregivers to indicate which part of the body needs to be checked for potential skin problems.
Proven Effective
- One study showed use of Skin Check helped reduce the rate of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers by 67%.1
- In another study, Skin Check helped reduce pressure
ulcers to zero in one facility.2 The same study also found that Skin Check improved non-licensed staff's knowledge about pressure ulcer development "resulted in enhanced communication between nonlicensed staff and RNs."
