Our basinless incontinence care treats and prevents incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
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
Sage Comfort Shield 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, treatment, and barrier protection.
Dimethicone formula helps treat and prevent IAD; helps seal out wetness
Breathable, transparent dimethicone barrier makes skin assessment easy
Allows the use of other products such as antifungals without removing Dimethicone barrier4
