00:04.6 - 00:08.6
Do you know how to best care for the skin of elderly people with incontinence?

00:10.5 - 00:14.4
Older skin is thinner, weaker and more prone to irritation.

00:14.5 - 00:20.1
Because it regenerates more slowly, preventing skin breakdown is vitally important.

00:20.9 - 00:26.3
Individuals that are bedridden or who have incontinence face additional risks to their skin:

00:26.4 - 00:29.2
Irritants contained in urine or feces

00:29.7 - 00:34.1
Abrasions caused by absorbent products made from low quality materials

00:34.2 - 00:37.5
Maceration caused by a damp microclimate

00:37.6 - 00:42.4
Pressure ulcers or bedsores from long term pressure on the same area of skin

00:44.8 - 00:48.2
Healthy skin begins with choosing the right absorbent product.

00:48.6 - 00:54.2
Seni products rapidly pull liquids away from the skin for an immediate feeling of dryness.

00:54.8 - 01:04.4
High quality absorbent products provide the right microclimate for the skin’s health, whereas lesser products can create an unfavorable and unhealthy environment.

01:05.8 - 01:13.5
Also critical is the use of a cloth-like and breathable outer layer to reduce sweating and keep the skin drier over time.

01:14.0 - 01:21.9
Not all cloth-like products are breathable. Only products with a vapor-permeable outer layer provide a skin-friendly microclimate.

01:23.6 - 01:27.8
For healthy skin, absorbent products don’t just need to keep you dry.

01:27.9 - 01:36.5
To reduce irritation, the inner layer in direct skin contact needs to be made of soft materials such as nonwoven.

01:37.2 - 01:42.7
Using skin friendly absorbent products is only the first step towards healthy skin.

01:42.8 - 01:45.8
It’s also crucial to use the right skin care products.

01:47.8 - 01:56.4
To cleanse between changes without contributing to irritation, use a product with a large, soft  surface such as Seni Care washcloths.

01:56.5 - 02:01.3
They cleanse delicately and are available in both scented and unscented formulas.

02:03.0 - 02:06.2
Keeping dry skin healthy requires additional care.

02:06.4 - 02:16.6
Seni Care Cleansing Body Cream contains emollients that form a delicate healthy film on the skin’s surface and lemon grass derivative that neutralizes urine odor.

02:18.2 - 02:31.0
The no-rinse formula is easy to use. Simply apply cream directly to soiled areas of the skin, spread gently with a dry Seni Care Personal Care Glove, then wipe away the residue after about 1 minute.

02:31.4 - 02:35.2
Do not rinse – you want to make sure the healthy film remains.

02:36.3 - 02:40.1
Between changes, you should protect the skin against irritation.

02:40.2 - 02:50.4
Seni Care Body Care Cream uses a special formula and thick consistency to build a skin-supporting layer that won’t interfere with the absorption of urine into briefs.

02:50.5 - 02:58.2
Unlike zinc oxide ointments, this product is transparent, so it won’t prevent you from noticing damaged or irritated skin.

03:01.0 - 03:05.1
Elderly people often have dry skin over their entire body.

03:05.2 - 03:14.3
This can be cared for with Moisturizing Body Lotion, that has a light consistency to absorb easily and bring fast relief to demanding skin.

03:15.4 - 03:22.4
By using the whole line of Seni absorbent and skin care products, you can truly provide BALANCED SKIN CARE.
