Abstract
2.5 million patients a year are effected by pressure ulcers, topical dermatitis, skin breakdown and infection; increasing length and cost of stay, death and liability. Skin, the first line of defense and the largest organ in the body is a vital source of protection. Aiding patients in guarding the skin from friction, sheer, and moisture related breakdown is one of the goals in nursing care. In review of journals, articles, and studies, the results show that application of a barrier film reduces damage to the dermis of patients who are at high risk of skin breakdown caused by friction, moisture and immobility.
