With the increase in aging of the general population, incontinence becomes an ever greater health concern. Skin irritation is a common problem with incontinent care recipients. They run a 50% higher risk of developing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), an inflammation of the skin that – due to the repeated exposure to moisture – causes pain and discomfort for the care recipient. 

Swash^® Perineum 3-in-1 products (clean, care, protect) are moistened wash gloves or wipes infused with a skin protectant 3% Dimethicone. This silicon-based oil leaves a thin layer on the skin, protecting it from moisture and irritation, while being non-occlusive, hence allowing the skin to breathe.
