    Aging skin needs extra care

    After more than 60 years working with skilled nurses, one thing we've learned here at TENA is that incontinence care and skin care are correlated. As skin ages, it becomes thin and fragile and takes longer to heal. Skin irritation can also be painful, and treatment may be costly and time-consuming. 

    Managing wetness on the skin is a key factor in helping to lower the incidence of dermatitis. This is because wet skin is weaker than dry skin, making it more susceptible to abrasion.1 Over-hydration of the skin also makes it easier for irritants from urine and feces to soak through, while excess moisture on the surface of the skin can become a breeding ground for bacteria, sores and infection.
