    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Wound Care
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Skin breakdown is a common complication in patients experiencing fecal incontinence and diarrhea.
    • Conventional treatments and institutional mixtures have shown limitations in preventing or healing skin breakdown.
    • Healthcare professionals must consider product efficacy, safety, cost, and convenience when selecting interventions.

    Observation:

    • An institutional mixture was developed using FDA-approved ingredients for wound care.
    • This mixture presented procedural and potency challenges.
    • A premixed skin paste, Critic-Aid, was tested as an alternative.

    Findings:

    • Critic-Aid exceeded expectations in preventing and healing skin breakdown.
    • Premixed products offer convenience and time-saving benefits, crucial in understaffed environments.
    • The study highlights the importance of FDA-approved products and quality control in skin care formulations.

    Implications:

    • Premixed skin pastes can be a valuable component of treatment plans for skin breakdown related to incontinence.
    • Healthcare facilities should evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of premixed products versus institutional mixtures.
    • Further research into optimized formulations for managing incontinence-associated dermatitis is warranted.
