Pressured by Pressure Ulcers
The average hospital (USA) spends $400,000 to $700,000 in direct costs to treat pressure ulcers. 1 In one study, patients with faecal incontinence were 22 times more likely to have pressure ulcers than those without the condition.2 Since almost half of all pressure ulcers form on the sacrum or ischium,3 consistent incontinence care is a must for any pressure ulcer prevention program.
Barrier to Compliance
Traditional incontinence care methods require so many steps, barrier application is often overlooked and practice can differ considerably from skin care protocols. The result is process variation.
Protection in Every Cloth
Once comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention program – featuring Comfort Shield® as the exclusive skin protectant – improved protocol compliance and reduced sacral/buttock pressure ulcers by over 89%!4
