Comfort Shield Barrier Cloths - Perineal Care Washcloths

Comfort Shield Barrier Cloths provide all-in-one incontinence care, sealing out wetness to help treat and prevent Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD), a known risk factor for pressure ulcers. Each premoistened, disposable washcloth cleanses, moisturizes and deodorizes - all while treating and protecting skin with 3% dimethicone.

You can be confident a barrier is applied every time. One comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention program using Comfort Shield Barrier Cloths improved compliance and reduced sacral/buttock pressure ulcers by 89%!

Warms quickly in a microwave or warmer for soothing patient comfort. Formulated with 3% dimethicone, a transparent skin barrier that helps seal out wetness and protect against skin irritation. Dimethicone is easier to clean up than zinc oxide or petroleum-based barriers found in similar products. Dermatologist-tested formula is gentle and nonirritating. Resealable package stores unused washcloths between uses. Compatible with adult briefs and underpads.

Comfort Shield Barrier Cloths also feature the Peri Check™ Guide. These peel-and-stick labels promote early identification of IAD and empower all levels of staff to observe and report IAD to the patient's nurse. The convenient labels also help address the CMS's mandate to no longer reimburse facilities for pressure ulcers not present on admission (POA), and IHI Five Million Lives Campaign's recommendation to prevent pressure ulcers. In addition, the Comfort Shield Barrier Station helps meet the IHI's recommendation to keep supplies at the bedside of each at-risk, incontinent patient.
