A widespread ICU challenge
Up to 37% of patients admitted to the ICU experience fecal incontinence1 during their hospital stay. A serious threat to patients, fecal incontinence also poses a significant challenge to hospitals to tackle. That's why our clinicians, engineers and designers collaborated with ICU nurses to develop the innovative Flexi-Seal™ PROTECT PLUS FMS.
ICU Nurse Specialist Helle Dybdahl shares how Flexi-Seal™ PROTECT PLUS fits into critical care, from freeing up nursing time and reducing contamination risk to protecting patient skin and dignity.
