At INDAS, we develop our solutions with the ultimate objective of enhancing patients’ lives. Therefore, our skin protection products are mostly intended for elderly people who are for the most part incontinent, the long term bedridden and people in wheelchairs.
Our pads are very different to others available on the market: incorporation of the DERMO concept. The formulations that are rich in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids form a protective barrier on the patient’s skin and the ambiaty oil has properties that regenerate the cells of the dermis and epidermis. Moreover, the aloe vera has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.
As well as the incontinence pads, our solutions offer other products to ensure that skin is well cared-for and prevent the formation of ulcers. For example, we have creams and gels to aid healing and protect skin in the case of physical aggressions (stretching, pressure, splinters, wounds, burns…) or chemical aggressions (urine, faeces, sweat), incorporating active principles among their ingredients in order to provide optimal treatment for skin.
At INDAS, we encourage healthcare professionals to heighten the awareness of carers and patients of the need for daily prevention. To this end, we offer a number of useful tips for carers and patients on prevention and skin care
Looking after skin properly will prevent ulcer formation, dehydration and other problems that are characteristic in old age. Adequate hygiene, a correct diet and the use of moisturising and protective products will keep skin whole and healthy.
Body hygiene is a key aspect of skincare, particularly in the elderly, as it ensures protection again external aggressions.
In case of incontinence, the perianal area should be cleaned quickly using neutral soap and non-alcohol-containing protective and moisturising creams should be used.
Moisturising is essential in keeping skin healthy. Drinking between one and two litres of liquid per day, particularly in the case of the elderly, will help to avoid renal and digestive ailments and hydrate skin, meaning that it will be healthier.
Although nutrition should be adjusted to take into account each person’s deficits, a diet that includes fruit, vegetables, carrots, milk, etc. and produces vitamin A, which is responsible for good skin nutrition, is recommended.
In the case of elderly people, in particular, regular warm baths are recommended, except for people with vascular problems.
Sunbathing is beneficial for the body, as long as protective creams are used before and after exposure, as it prevents vitamin D deficit and the loss of bone mass.
