At Wound-Care, we understand the importance of maintaining the health and integrity of a patient's skin. This is especially important when it comes to managing wounds, incontinence and the use of medical products that may come into contact with the skin. To ensure the skin remains protected and free from damage, a range of skin protection products such as barrier creams, adhesive removers, skin moisturisers, and skin cleansers are crucial to include in the patient's treatment plan.
Wound exudate, incontinence and the use of products with adhesives can put the skin at risk of damage, but with the help of barrier creams, the skin can be protected from harmful irritants and potential infections. Barrier creams form a physical barrier on the skin that prevents moisture, bacteria, and other harmful elements from entering and causing damage. This protection can aid in promoting the healing process and reducing the risk of infection.
Adhesive removers, on the other hand, are used to remove medical adhesives, such as tape or dressing, without damaging the skin. These removers are especially important for patients who require frequent dressing changes or have sensitive skin. The use of adhesive removers can prevent skin tears and reduce the risk of skin damage caused by the removal of medical adhesives.
Moisturisers and skin cleansers play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance and keeping it healthy. Moisturisers help to hydrate the skin, reduce dryness and prevent cracking, while skin cleansers gently remove dirt and impurities, leaving the skin clean and refreshed. These products work together to protect and soothe the skin, promoting a healthy and balanced complexion.
In conclusion, barrier creams, adhesive removers, skin moisturisers, and skin cleansers are essential components of a comprehensive skin protection plan. At Wound-Care, we offer a range of these products to meet the unique needs of each patient and ensure their skin remains protected and healthy.
