Take care of the skin
• Healthy skin normal PH between 4.3 and 5.9• Microorganisms on the skin can effect the PH • Additionally, prolonged contact with fluid, can
increase the permeability of the skin • Fecal enzymes damage the epidermis and be
very caustic to the skin• Briefs and pad help retain moisture and heat

Remember:
• ONLY use ONE air flow pad• Greatly decreases flow of air causing
diminished offloading of bed• Be the patients advocate- don’t use the pads
and briefs unless the patient REALLY needs it
