As a caregiver, you encounter many different skin conditions. Among the most common are those caused by prolonged exposure to moisture: incontinence-associated dermatitis, intertriginous dermatitis or periwound moisture-associated dermatitis. Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) negatively impacts the physical health of your patients and the financial health of your facility.
Causes of Moisture-Associated Skin Damage
MASD encompasses distinct skin conditions caused by excessive and continued exposure to moisture: wound exudate, urinary and/or fecal incontinence, or perspiration.4 Identifying the cause of skin damage helps ensure appropriate management and prevention interventions.
Don't Be Reactive, Be Proactive.
To help prevent and manage MASD, its important for caregivers to use products that absorb and hold moisture away from the skin.4 Unlike conventional underpads, our Ultrasorbs and Extrasorbs drypads feature advanced polymers that help ensure ongoing dryness of skin,13 help reduce friction and shear, allow air circulation and support low air-loss mattresses.
