Fragile skin needs special solutions
Fixation and wound dressings are an integral part of the daily routine in medical care. However, the application of the dressings and their removal can have a negative effect on the skin, with the adhesive playing a key role. This is especially true for fragile and compromised skin to help protect skin integrity.
Which patient groups are particularly affected?
