Contiplan 3-in-1 Continence Care Cloths
Implementing a structured skincare regime is proven to protect against MASD1, and global guidance champions 3 steps: cleanse, moisturise and protect2.
Feel the difference
Clinell Contiplan’s unique cream-based cloth is designed with a unique medical grade formulation, providing a therapeutic touch that differentiates it from typical water-based incontinent wipes. The cloths are infused with a unique rich cream ensuring that upon application, the skin is cleaned at the same time that it receives immediate, deep moisturisation and a protective barrier. This unique delivery method enhances skin hydration and protection, crucial for managing sensitive and damaged skin.
See the difference
Our cream-based cloths can be used to prevent and manage Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD) including Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) and Intertriginous Dermatitis (ITD), offering superior protection compared to water-based alternatives. Just squeeze and see the difference of our rich cream infused cloths compared to water based wipes. The Advanced Barrier Technology (ABTTM), incorporating 6% Liquid Paraffin and 4% Dimethicone, forms a resilient shield against moisture and irritants.
Understand the difference
The scientific foundation of our cream-based formulation sets a new standard in continence care. Unlike water-based wipes, which can leave the skin feeling wet and inadequately protected, our cream-based cloths deliver a three-in-one action: cleansing, moisturising, and protecting.
- Cleansing: The natural surfactants of Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana Extract) and Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, ensure effective removal of impurities while maintaining the skin's pH balance.
- Moisturising: A blend of Glycerin, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, and Chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita) Extract penetrates the epidermal layers, providing deep hydration and soothing properties, crucial to help maintain skin integrity.
- Barrier protection: Our Advanced Barrier Technology (ABTTM), featuring 6% Liquid Paraffin and 4% Dimethicone, forms a robust breathable layer that prevents transepidermal water loss and shields the skin from external irritants. This is essential for protecting compromised skin and supporting its natural healing process.
This advanced formulation not only enhances patient comfort but also provides a scientifically validated method for managing and preventing skin damage associated with moisture, making our Clinell Contiplan Cloths a superior choice for healthcare professionals.
