Manage microclimate for better outcomes
More than 40% of adults in hospital and LTC facilities5 have incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), requiring 30+ minutes of staff care per patient per day.6 Protecting skin and mitigating the risk of IAD and other skin issues are essential to help you improve patient outcomes, avoid complications, and reduce costs across your continuum of care.
