Skin protectants should be applied after every incontinent episode to seal out wetness and protect againsr skin breakdown

• Moisture, irritants in urine, and fecal enzymes put skin at risk for breakdown
• Urine can also affect the skin's natural acid mantle increasing skin permeability
• Many components of urine can promote bacterial overgrowth, leading to cutaneous irritation, inflammation and urinary tract infections
• Skin macerated or saturated with moisture loses its ability to form a protective barrier
• Moisture from perspiration, urine or feces can reduce the skin's strength and increase the likelihood of damage due to friction and pressure
