Medical adhesive-related skin injuries, a costly but avoidable problem
Medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSIs) place a substantial burden on the healthcare system1 As well as causing significant pain and distress for patients, MARSIs can result in:1
MARSIs are largely avoidable when appropriate preventative measures are implemented1
Although there are several types and formulations of medical adhesive remover available, selection of the most appropriate option is important for optimal outcomes.2
Sterile medical adhesive removers are recommended for high-risk patients, including those with open wounds, intravenous access sites, central lines, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEGs), neonates, and immunocompromised individuals.1,2
The use of sterile medical adhesive removers has been shown to:1
Increased risk of complications
Increased usage of dressings
Longer hospital stays & treatment time in the community
Increased healthcare professional timeInfection
ratesNeed for analgesia
Nursing time & costs
Best-practice guidance recommends that sterile silicone medical adhesive removers should be strongly considered for high-risk patients and considered as part of a risk-management process for all other patients1
