Today, healthcare providers are looking for opportunities to employ innovative care models to help minimize stress and help promote an optimal environment for healing in the NICU.

Diapering is an opportunity for nurses, healthcare providers and families to integrate, model and educate about the importance of applying developmental care while taking care of infant skin.

As important is the importance of selecting products with a comprehensive design that not only helps maintain a healthy skin barrier in the diapered area, but also helps to foster the physical and developmental growth of premature infants during a diaper change.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

Highlight key differences between Preterm and Full-term infant skin
Understand the Comprehensive System approach to diapering for healthy skin
Highlight clinical results to help support gentle protection for preterm diapered skin
