Information Guide

For wound care clinicians, this infographic offers a practical roadmap for catching Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries before they happen. It breaks down the risk factors clinicians juggle every shift, including device fit, patient vulnerability, and gaps in monitoring, and pairs them with clear, actionable steps for common situations like new devices, edema, catheters, and CPAP/BiPAP use. The SECURE mnemonic keeps assessment and documentation front of mind, not an afterthought. The payoff is earlier detection, more accurate staging, fewer missed injuries, and better protection against reimbursement denials tied to late-stage discovery, ultimately meaning safer skin and better outcomes for patients.

This infographic outlines an integrated approach to protecting vulnerable skin in long-term and post-acute care by combining evidence-based pressure injury prevention, early ischemia recognition, moisture-associated skin damage management, and enhanced barrier precautions to reduce wound complications and infection risk.

This guide offers practical strategies, product comparisons, and stepwise protocols to help you prevent and manage moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) effectively.

This guide provides a review of risk factors and causes of fragile skin as well as best practices for gentle cleansing, hydration, and barrier protection from moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) in a quick reference format.
