THE ELDERLY AND TAPELESS
Tapeless has more value to the elderly than any other single age group because of the accumulation of issues that the elderly deal with. Although Tapeless is effective with all age groups, the elderly present more clinical challenges than do other age groups.
1. THIN SKIN This irrefutable event affects everyone as they age. Special care must be considered when applying any material to skin to reduce concerns of allergies, abrasiveness, adhesives and response to moisture and heat. Tapeless material has been used for decades for diapers and female sanitary napkins. It contains no latex, no adhesives, is hypoallergenic and breathes.
2. COST EFFECTIVENESS The ability to wash and re-use the Tapless products makes them very cost effective to everyone, especially the elderly.
3. BLOOD SUPPLY With the aging process, arterial insufficiency and venous varicosities develop which translate into ulcers and decreased wound healing. It is important to make sure that any wound dressing holder is not compressive or further compromises an already diminished blood supply.
4. OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS With the aging process, other medical problems become manifest and may affect healing. Diabetes is one common example. With treatment various medications such as steroids or chemotherapy agents may necessitate the avoidance of adhesives, constrictive materials or rough textures. TapelessÔ may be used safely.
5. DECREASED SENSATION Some diseases and aging may diminish the patient’s ability to sense if a dressing is too tight, leading to significant complications. The use of Tapeless can easily accommodate any increase in swelling and does not constrict as does COBAN.
6. EASE OF USE Certain medical problems develop with age, like arthritis and stiff joints, that impair the ability to reach certain body parts or perform the wrapping motion that is required by several competitors. Tapeless is applied like a clam-shell and is not slipped over any painful or stiff joint. Tapeless attaches simply with velcro, not needing to be wrapped or applied by a second person.
Tapeless simply works because it works simply.
