A 3-in-1 Perineal Care Washcloth Impregnated With Dimethicone 3% Versus Water and pH Neutral Soap to Prevent and Treat Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis

Abstract: The use of a 3-in-1 washcloth, impregnated with a 3% dimethicone formula, resulted in a significantly reduced prevalence of IAD and a trend toward less severe lesions. These findings provide indicative evidence for the use of 3-in-1 perineal care washcloth as an effective intervention against the use of water and a pH neutral soap to prevent and/or treat IAD.

“…those that do not contain hydrogen ions which includes barrier films)  Low irritant potential/hypoallergenic  Cleansing considers caregiver time and patient comfort  Does not increase skin damage  Acceptable to patients, clinicans and caregivers  Minimises the number of products  Cost-effective Adapted from Beeckman et al, 2015 Cleansing Standard soap is alkaline and has been demonstrated to alter skin pH, thus attacking corneocytes and potentially damaging the protective barrier function of the skin. This can be further compromised by the texture of traditional washcloths and flannels, which can cause friction damage (Beeckman et al, 2011). Additionally the use of water alone can impair skin barrier function by increasing the water diffusion through the skin.…”

“…Trata-se de uma condição bastante frequente, tendo em conta que existe uma percentagem significativa de pessoas, maioritariamente com 65 e mais anos de idade, internadas em cuidados agudos ou de longa duração, que sofrem de incontinência urinária e/ou fecal (1) . Tipicamente é reconhecida como uma inflamação da superfície da pele caracterizada por vermelhidão (rush cutâneo), que afeta principalmente a região das coxas, nádegas e escroto, em pessoas do sexo masculino e os grandes lábios em mulheres (2,3) .…”

“…Se a DAI não for identificada e tratada atempadamente, este rubor e/ou rush cutâneo poderá evoluir rapidamente para a formação local de escoriações e de lesões vesiculares, que com a exposição prolongada aos fatores de risco poderão desencadear um processo infecioso com elevada gravidade (2) . Inicia-se, assim, um ciclo onde se constata um aumento progressivo da inflamação local e de perda de integridade cutânea (1) .…”
