Summary

As there are currently no evidence on the benefit of absorbing incontinence products with copper to stabilize IAD in the elderly, thus, this study will assess the capacity and safety of an absorbing incontinence products with a copper-based substance for the management of adults with incontinence-associated dermatitis, compared to an absorbing incontinence products with no substance. This approach may contribute for IAD management arsenal, since clinical evidence on the efficiency of products available in the market to manage IAD is frail, as seen in systematic reviews mentioned above. We believe copper, as a barrier product, has the potential to perform well in this clinical setting of IAD, as it performed well in other settings.
