Moisture and barrier application
After thorough and gentle cleansing of the skin, apply moisture and barrier application to help restore and protect the skin.
Moisture and barrier application is especially vital as a part of a skin care regimen to prevent IAD (Incontinence Associated Incontinence):
- Make sure the skin is completely clean and dry
- Choose the right product according to the condition of the skin.
- Apply the correct amount: Too much product may prevent the skin from breathing or go to waste as it is absorbed into the continence product, thus making the continence product less effective.
After applying the IAD skin care regimen, an essential part of quality continence care is making sure to use high-quality, breathable incontinence products and bed protection sheets.

Screen the skin at each incontinence product change for redness, inflammation, rash, pain, or itching to assess the severity and development of IAD (and to ensure the patient has not developed pressure ulcers).

- Gentle cleansing (preferable without water)
- Apply Moisture and barrier application (Regenerate and protect the skin – remember not too much)
