octenicare® Repair Creme offers a proven solution…
Healthcare staff are following stringent infection prevention measures including more frequent hand hygiene procedures and the increased use of surgical masks and gloves. Whilst these precautions are essential, they are also leading to staff reporting more dermatological problems, particularly dermatitis on the hands and sometimes the face.
‘Damaged skin on the hands needs to be seriously addressed and places both staff and patients at risk because it prevents effective hand hygiene.’ (Royal College of Nursing, 2018) Using a barrier emollient product and a repair cream if dermatitis is suspected will help address this issue.
octenicare Repair Creme is ideal for alleviating dry skin, supporting healing and caring for sensitive skin.
octenicare contains panthenol to promote the regeneration of the skin and bisabolol which has an anti-inflammatory effect to soothe the skin. It also helps form a protective barrier on the skin and is indicated to support the natural regeneration of the skin.
Dermatologically tested, octenicare has excellent skin compatibility and does not contain fragrances, dyes or sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS).
