Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury
Prevent Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury (MARSI)
-
Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury is a prevalent and serious complication that occurs across all care settings and among all age groups, yet such injuries are generally accepted as an inevitable part of patient care. MARSI is currently under reported as it is not categorised as an adverse event. This has made the prevalence and financial impact of MARSI difficult to document. 3M's range of product and solutions have been designed to allow healthcare professionals to reduce the incidence of MARSI.

Protecting patient comfort and safety

In order to establish formal guidelines on the proper assessment, prevention, and treatment of skin injuries, 3M convened a panel of 23 recognised clinical experts to establish an agreed consensus on the issue.
By increasing your understanding and awareness of MARSI, and implementing these guidelines, you can improve your patients' experience, help to reduce healthcare costs and improve outcomes.
