The TENA Skincare range is built on years of experience in providing quality incontinence products. It is also the result of working closely with care facility managers and caregivers. Preventative personal skincare can help minimize the risk of incontinence-related skin breakdown while benefitting the working environment for your staff.
To deliver this, the range is broadly divided into four complementary categories that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of your residents.

Frequent cleansing with soap and water, along with incontinence, can disrupt the skin’s integrity, reducing its ability to prevent infection. Furthermore, the breakdown of skin arising from incontinence can have a considerable impact on an individual’s physical and psychological well-being. [3]
An optimal skin care regime after episodes of incontinence helps to prevent incontinence-associated dermatitis. It should include gentle cleansing, moisturizing and the use of a skin barrier or protectant if necessary. [3]
No-rinse cleansers are considered the best practice because they are beneficial to elderly skin. [4]
Trials were carried out using TENA Skincare products in long-term care homes with promising results. [5,6]
TENA Skincare improved skin conditions for a significant number of residents. Two-thirds of the elderly residents benefited from improvements in their skin condition when they used the TENA Skincare system vs. soap & water. [1]
