Medline’s Skincare Regimen
Colour-coded for ease, designed for success
In terms of both prevention and treatment, the first line of defence for moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) and other skin afflictions is a structured skincare regimen and skin protection.
Healthy skin can also benefit from this care!
STEP 1
Cleanse the skin thoroughly to remove all irritants, including bodily fluids. Ensure the skin is completely dry.
STEP 2
Apply a moisturiser to restore the barrier function of the skin by keeping it hydrated and improving its general condition.
STEP 3
Apply a barrier cream or film to protect vulnerable skin, creating a physical barrier and minimising exposure to irritants and excessive moisture, such as bodily fluids.
Bolster your moisture management programme by combining a barrier product with a breathable drypad to absorb all types of bodily fluids and lock away wetness and odour.
Find the right skincare regimen and products adapted to your institution's needs for your patients suffering from an irritating skin condition, such as:
Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis
Skin redness, loss or breakdown associated with exposure to urine or faeces
Peristomal-Associated Dermatitis
Inflammation, maceration and skin breakdown caused by faeces that leaks from the stoma, sweat or exudate from the peristomal wound
Peri-Wound Moisture-Associated Dermatitis
Skin maceration caused by non- or slow-healing wound exudate
Denuded Skin
Loss of epidermis related to wound drainage, faeces, urine or friction on the skin
Intertrigo
Maceration caused by a build-up of sweat, particularly in skin folds, providing a breeding ground for fungal infections
