Aloe Care Perineal Wash Cream

The Challenge to Deliver Effective Perineal Care

Caregivers in long-term care facilities and hospitals across Canada are challenged every day to provide efficient and effective perineal care to their residents and patients. Those who properly follow perineal skin care protocol can greatly enhance the quality of life experienced by residents, while reducing costs to the health care facility. But there are many hurdles to overcome for health care providers, as they strive to deliver effective perineal care to the aging, the bedridden and the incontinent. The skin is the body’s largest organ. It protects us from the environment, regulates body temperature and is the body’s first line of defence against infection. However, as it ages, our skin has slower cell regeneration and retains less moisture, becoming more susceptible to dryness and irritation. When such conditions are left untreated, skin in the perineal area can break down, becoming less capable of forming a naturally protective barrier. This forces the body to work harder to defend against infection. The reduced activity of bedridden patients can exacerbate the negative effects experienced by one’s aging skin. This is especially evident when timely and effective perineal care is not provided to the resident. Incontinence can further complicate proper skin care management, creating an even greater need to protect against potential skin damage and infection in the perineal area.

The Solution: Aloe Care Perineal Wash Cream

Using products that properly care for our skin by keeping it healthy and intact is one of the single most important routines we can do for our health. Aloe Care Perineal Wash Cream is specifically formulated to cleanse the perineal area and reduce any potential odour, leaving the resident clean and feeling refreshed. It is pH balanced for use on sensitive skin and formulated to protect, hydrate and moisturize the perineal area. Aloe Care Perineal Wash Cream is an excellent addition to your daily skin care program. When used properly, Aloe Care Perineal Wash Cream provides both residents and caregivers with some key advantages:

• Effectively cleans the perineal area, conditioning the skin, promoting skin nutrition and elasticity, giving the patient healthy skin without stripping the skin of essential nutrients and moisture
• Cleans the skin, moisturizes the skin and forms a protective barrier on the skin all with one no rinse product

Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer

The Challenge of Infection Prevention and Control

With nearly a quarter-million incidents of Health Care Associated Infections (HAI) occurring in Canada every year, it is no wonder that infection prevention and control are a top priority in today’s health care environment. The term “germs” refers to microscopic bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa that can cause disease. These germs are present in most health care settings and if left unattended can spread, causing serious illness especially amongst those most susceptible. Your hands are the most common vehicle for transmitting germs. In the health care setting, organisms present on residents, patients, surfaces and objects can easily transfer to the provider’s hands where they can survive if proper hand hygiene protocol is not deployed. These surviving organisms can in turn transfer to others, creating a potential chain of infection. Whether in a health care setting or at home or work, frequent hand washing is the best way to limit the transfer of bacteria, viruses and other microbes and is an obvious choice when hands are visibly dirty or have been exposed to bodily fluids. However, soap and water are not always readily available and time constraints may not permit a thorough hand washing.

The Solution: Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer

Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer is an excellent choice for proper hand hygiene when hands have not been visibly soiled. In fact, an alcohol-based hand rub is the preferred method in many clinical settings simply because it takes less time than washing with soap and water, and is more accessible for both patients and providers. In a health care setting, Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer can be kept within arm’s reach of the point of care to enable timely hand hygiene. Aloe Care’s non-clogging pump bottle and dispenser formats also allow for more hand washes per millilitre and convenient placement options at the point of care. Keep our pump bottles around the home or work as well – placement throughout the home or office can promote quick, effective and regular hand hygiene! Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer is an advanced formulated hand sanitizer that contains 72% ethyl alcohol to kill 99.99% of many common harmful germs and bacteria. Convenient foam sanitizers are easier to apply, feel softer on the hands and create less mess. It is an economical solution not only in a health care facility, but also at home, the office or anywhere you need quick access to a hand hygiene solution. Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer contains special conditioners to leave hands moisturized and leaves a pleasant scent on your hands. Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer is the ideal solution for hand sanitizing and infection control.

Use Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer for proper Hand Hygiene

Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer is most effective when used as part of a proper Hand Hygiene Program. Frequent hand washing is the single most important to prevent illness and the spread of germs to other surfaces and people. Use Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer when soap and water are not accessible or time does not permit. When you do have access to soap and water, follow the instructions below.

When to wash your hands:

• After using the restroom
• Before and after staff meetings if food is served
• After scanning newspapers or magazines in the break room
• Before and after lunch
• After using someone else’s keyboard or tools
• Before and after any meet and greet activity
• When using shared office equipment such as faxes, phones, photocopiers

Procedure for washing hands:

1. Wet hands with warm running water prior to reaching for soap, either in bar or liquid form.
2. Rub hands together to form lather. Do this away from running water, so the lather isn’t washed away.
3. Wash the front and back of hands, between fingers and under nails. Continue washing for 15 seconds or more.
4. Rinse hands well under warm running water.
5. Dry hands thoroughly with a clean towel or air dryer.

This simple hand hygiene plan will go a long way in protecting the health and safety of you and others around you.
