Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD) is a form of dermatitis that can occur when the skin is in contact with Urine or Faeces for a prolonged amount of time.
The impact of IAD is a major expense to many healthcare providers, when treated correctly in early onset these costs can be dramatically reduced with preventative measures.
Below you’ll find the statistics linked to IAD, which emphasises that this is not a widely reported skin condition as it may often be misinterpreted as pressure ulcers. We recommend that with a structured 3-step skin care protocol (Cleansing, Moisturising, and Barrier Application), IAD can potentially be kept at bay.
