Did you know that 4 out of 10 people with incontinence

Independent scientific evidence shows that

incontinence.
These problems include:
•skin irritation
•reddening
•itching
•Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD).

around 5.5, the skin’s outer mantle is slightly acidic.
As skin ages the outer layer gets thinner and does not
regenerate as fast as it does in young skin. Small
cuts and tears therefore occur easier and often take a
longer time to heal. Less epidermal fats are produced
leading to dry and often itchy skin and the acid mantle
becomes unstable leading to a weakened defence
against infections.

strongly associated
with age and this
very well correlates
with a more fragile
epidermal barrier and
a reduced capacity of
the skin to regenerate

How you can provide
Evidence-Based2 Continence and Skin Management
Effective Continence Management
Effective Clinical Skin Protection
Stabilise pH skin value at a healthy 5.5 and create
Superior 3-layer absorbent core
for rapid fluid absorption and safe storage
The top layer quickly guides fluid away from the
Stratum Corneum into the inner part of the absorbent
core which allows the skin to remain dry and protects
the Stratum Corneum from swelling.
an “antibacterial effect”
The patented curly fibre top layer provides a strong
“pH buffer” and supports the skin’s “antibacterial
effect” which maintains the pH value of ~5.5 and
supports the skin’s natural protection mechanism.
Breathable Air Active® side panels help maintain a
healthy skin temperature
Superabsorbent molecules for
effective odour neutralisation
Special “superabsorber-molecules” reduce ammonia
production and neutralise unpleasant odour.
MoliCare® Premium soft have breathable Air Active®
side panels for air and sweat to circulate, which
allows moisture to escape and stops the Stratum
Corneum from swelling.
Dermatologically tested hypoallergenic even for
sensitive, atopic skin
Moli products are dermatologically tested and
MoliCare® Premium and MoliForm® have all been
clinically proven as hypoallergenic.3
