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%!1
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),2 and IHI Five Million Lives Campaign's recommendation to prevent pressure ulcers.3 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.3
Sage also offers free clinical education tools to help boost your IAD prevention efforts.
