Maintaining hydration, skin integrity and elasticity prevents dry skin, scaling and dermatitis which could lead to the formation of ulcers and pressure sores. Due to lack of circulation, keeping the skin lubricated will always be a problem for bed-bound patients, diabetics, wheelchair patients, people undergoing chemotherapy and older adults. However, the hyper-oxygenation of Essential Fatty Acids helps increase the blood flow, improving circulation and speeding up the healing process. In addition to the prevention of skin breakdown, the topical application of Maintenance Plus is an excellent way of reducing friction while preventing water loss and skin dehydration.
