Our basinless incontinence care cleans and protects the skin from incontinence.
Using a basin to clean your incontinent patients may increase the risk of infection. Studies have shown basins are often contaminated with bacteria, including multi-drug resistant organisms and gram-negative bacilli.1,2 Hospital water systems have also been identified in more than 29 studies as the source of serious waterborne hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).3
In addition to the threats posed by water and basins, incontinent patients are also at an increased risk for developing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).4 That puts them at risk for also developing a skin injury.5 Sage Barrier Cream Cloths with dimethicone can help you provide consistent patient care by applying an effective barrier every time. Each cloth delivers all-in-one skin cleansing, moisturizing, deodorizing, and barrier protection.
