Understanding and Managing Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis

Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) is a painful, problematic skin injury that results from exposure to urine or faeces. This is a miserable patient experience that also increases the risk of complications, such as secondary infections and pressure ulcers or injuries.

Are your patients at risk?

Residents or patients with incontinence are at risk, but those with mixed incontinence are the most vulnerable — especially when stools are liquid or diarrhea is present.3
