Abstract
Few studies have been undertaken in the area of skin protection, even though maintaining tissue viability in the event of incontinence, shear forces and the potential for exudate to macerate periwound areas remains a challenge for any nurse caring for patients. This article outlines and discusses the problems associated with overhydrated tissues and shear forces and the potential for SuperSkin liquid film dressing, marketed by CliniMed, to provide a solution.Keywords
