The purpose of the clinical study is to assess the effects of 3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant in comparison to different local IAD care regimes in hospitals (IAD: incontinence-associated dermatitis). IAD is a skin damage caused by exposure to moisture and irritants such as urine and/or stool. The clinical appearance ranges from painful erythema to severe erosion and denudation/skin loss with or without secondary infection. The durable, long lasting skin protectant (3M study device) is formulated to attach to moist or wet skin surfaces (i.e., superficial, partial thickness skin loss) to provide better protection against moisture and irritants under challenging conditions.
