Infection Prevention and Managing Incontinence
Infection prevention (IP) is more critical than ever with the upcoming cold and flu season amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Incontinence care is an important aspect of minimizing the spread of communicable diseases like the seasonal flu and COVID-19.
3 Ways Tranquility Helps Prevent Infection
1. Extended wear times and protection from leakage
minimizes preventable close contact between patients and caregivers to reduce the spread of illness.
2. Superior moisture wicking reduces incontinence related medical issues
(such as skin breakdown and UTIs), helping to keep patients out of hospitals and lessen their risk of increased exposure.
3. Maximum absorbency products keep patients comfortable and dry
leading to a better night’s sleep which helps to boost the immune system and overall health.
