Skin Care System

Moisturize

Preventive/Skin Equity

Moisturizers hydrate and soothe dry, itchy skin and may make skin less suspectible to skin tears

Dry skin affects 59% to 85% of people older than 64 years²
Dry skin loses its elasticity, making it more susceptible to skin tears
An estimated 1.5 million skin tears occur annually among institutionalized elderly patients²
In addition to causing severe discomfort, dry, cracked skin no longer fulfills an important barrier function
Broken skin increases the risk of infection

SECURA^◊ moisturizers contain emollients and humectants to hydrate, soothe and condition dry skin

SECURA^◊ moisturizers are non-staining
