Kendall Skin Wellness System
Covidien, a leading global provider of healthcare products, today announced the launch of the Kendall Skin Wellness System, a comprehensive line of barrier creams, lotions and cleansers. This portfolio of seven formulas for skin cleansing, moisturizing, protection and treatment helps restore the skin to its natural, healthy state.
“Healthy skin provides an important first layer of defense,” said Kristin Dietzler, General Manager for Nursing Care at Covidien. “As healthcare facilities increase their focus on reducing adverse events, the Kendall Skin Wellness System can reduce the likelihood of acquired conditions such as pressure ulcers, skin tears, contact dermatitis and secondary infections. Since many of these conditions are commonly associated with the skin damage caused by incontinence, our new skin wellness system pairs perfectly with our comprehensive line of incontinence and advanced wound care products.”
Moisture balance is essential to skin health; skin that is excessively wet or dry is particularly susceptible to injury and infection. The Kendall Skin Wellness System contains active pharmaceutical ingredients and jojoba, a natural plant oil often used in cosmetics. Jojoba oil is easily absorbed by the skin and helps replace moisture when the skin’s natural oils have been diminished.
The Kendall Skin Wellness System was presented at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care in Dallas, TX, April 14-17, 2011, and at the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society annual conference in New Orleans, June 4-8, 2011.
