Innovative Moisture Management

Studies show that 47% of hospital patients are incontinent, and of those, 45% have incontinence-associated dermatitis during their stay(1). As a wound ostomy nurse, you know that incontinence also negatively impacts a patient’s mental health and their satisfaction with the hospital experience. That’s why our MedSurg Centrella Smart+ Bed can be enabled to detect and automatically alert nurses to an incontinence event.

Learn more about the WatchCare™ Incontinence Management System by Hillrom, and learn how absorbent pads use built-in sensing technology to protect patients’ skin, improve caregiver effectiveness, and improve the overall patient experience with discreet and dignified care.
