Eliminate Basins From Incontinence Care & Reduce CAUTI Risk with

Comfort Shield® Barrier Cream Cloths

Basins put your patients at risk

Using a basin to clean patients after an incontinence episode puts them at risk for nosocomial infection. Studies show basins are contaminated with bacteria, including multi-drug resistant organisms and gram-negative bacilli.1,2 Removing the basin from your incontinence care protocol and replacing it with rinse-free Comfort Shield Barrier Cream Cloths can help reduce infection risk from cross contamination and waterborne infections.

Peri Check™ Guide

Promote Early Identification of a Major Pressure Ulcer Risk Factor

Comfort Shield Barrier Cream Cloths feature Peri Check Guide peel-and-stick labels to facilitate daily skin inspection. They empower staff to observe and report skin issues to the patient’s nurse and promote rapid response through early identification of skin breakdown and Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD), a known risk factor for pressure ulcers.

In one study, Peri Check helped reduce pressure ulcers in a facility to zero.1 The same study found that Peri Check improved non-licensed staff’s knowledge about pressure ulcer development and “resulted in enhanced communication between non-licensed staff and RNs.”

Proven Clinical Outcomes

New Randomized Controlled Trial Proves Effectiveness

beakmanA four month study of 141 nursing home residents evaluated the use of Comfort Shield Barrier Cream Cloths versus water and pH neutral soap. Residents using Comfort Shield saw a reduction in the prevalence of IAD from 22% to 8%, while residents using soap and water saw IAD prevalence increase from 23% to 27%. The study also found a decrease in IAD severity in residents using Comfort Shield, while no improvement was seen with soap and water.5
